Jan, I am not absolutely certain, but I believe JT65HF, which is what is being talked about here, doesn't do a deep search or nobody uses it if it does. Again, not absolutely certain about it, since

That's a good suggestion. It really should be one award for the case where a human operator copies the signal, a man and his radio, and another certificate where a machine actually copies the signal,

Just to underline Tom's comments, see the following paper http://www.sm2cew.com/Digital%20communications%20using%20minimal%20transfer.pdf Jan, That report is amazing and disturbing at the same time.
Hi Tom et al, Welcome to the digital age... What with hundreds of so-called "friends" on venues like facebook.com, this was surely the next step, & merely reflects a growing (deplorable) trend... ~73
Tom, "easily" is a very parochial east coast point of view. Maybe from GA. Probably not in one lifetime from west of the Mississippi. Having noted that, let me go on to say the discussion has morphed
I side with you, Mike, on the interloping attitude of SSB! I'm a CW afficianado as others are -- goin _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
For the record, I have tried JT65 and other digital modes. I'm not opposed to them, but they are not for me. To each their own, of course, but I would rather watch paint dry than work digital modes.

All, I feel the issue is that the band plans for the three regions are not aligned, especially region 2. Since CW is still a popular mode of communications for this band I propose three regions shoul
Finally some useful suggestions. The digital ops were only following accepted practice when they selected the area around 1838, top end of the cw segment, for a place to run. If all three IARU areas
Welcome to the digital age... What with hundreds of so-called "friends" on venues like facebook.com, this was surely the next step, & merely reflects a growing (deplorable) trend... Eddy, sure not,
I think the digital modes should QRP on top band to make it fair. :-) :-) Bob K6UJ _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
