I haven't sprinted yet this season but hope to make it for 6m next month.

I read several posts about hearing weak signals that couldn't be converted into 
QSOs.  Sounds to me that in conditions like this that JT65x would result in 
QSOs that otherwise couldn't be made.  Since QSOs = FUN, I wonder if there's 
any interest in this possibility?  I'm just starting to tinker with JT65 and 
think it has great potential.

Had a look at the rules and didn't see anything (in my quick scan) that would 
rule it out.  In fact, the only discussion of modes is with regard to reporting 
the mode used in logs submitted.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.

That said, I don't recall reading anything that would prohibit multiple QSOs 
with the same station using multiple modes, i.e., working the same station on 
SSB, then moving to CW and finally JT65x results in three legitimate QSO points 
(mode circling?).  Maybe I'm missing something but I just thought I'd toss it 
out for discussion.

73,
