HI Don
If things get slow, you might try it on a dead band, like 6 or 10
meters. Might be an interesting test. 73

I'm going to be operating W1AW/5 next week and will be doing a lot of
RTTY. My thoughts are that I will not operate JT65 because of
how slow it is. I have worked other W1AW portable stations on JT65
but I just don't see the value in using a mode that takes 5
minutes to make one contact. Don't get me wrong, I really like JT65
and have over 1500 JT65 contacts in the log in the past 2 years.
But...
Is there any value at all to operating JT65 from W1AW portable
operations? Does the rate get so slow toward the end that JT65 then
becomes acceptable in spite of its slow rate?
Thanks,
Don AA5AU
