I wondered why I never heard any digital from the US.  Has nobody ever
told you that the UK (and quite a few other europeans) can't operate
below 1810?

IARU region one bandplan puts digimodes 1838-1842.

Do you folks not want to talk to us folks?

BTW- I am hearing increasing european PSK activity around 1839 and even
some rtty.
