One other question. From what I understand, MSK144 takes the full 300
HZ to 2700 Hz bandwidth. How far apart should the "slots" be? 3, 4 5
kHz? The reason is, if I have to listen to two station via the rocks, I
can handle 3 kHz spacing. But as this mode catches on, and it going to
go the the general population real soon noww, how do I handle a ham
neighbor 20 miles away running MSK144 at the same time? The 3 kHz
spacing will be a problem for most rigs. 4 or 5 Khz would be doable on
most.

Hi Tom and everyone interested in this thread.....I think that it is
clear that MSK has won the war. Few, if any, will be using FSK441 in
the future. I would be in favor of moving the "calling frequency"
back to 50.260MHz(or even lower). I have the following problem: The
farther we get the meteor operations away from 50.125MHz, the worse
the antennas work. I would be perfectly happy to move the calling
frequency down even farther. We have 6M EME around 50.200MHz, so we
need to stay away from that, but we could use anything in the 50.220
to 50.240 range. I don't know of anything using those frequencies.
That means that at least 7 guys will come on saying that their
activities occur in that range....HI.
