Topband: JT65/JT9 MODES

[Jim]

Alex, 

  I much imagine a similar statement was uttered many years ago when the first use of AM transmitters came into use and probably again when SSB came into use. 

Its not that it is better .... simply different and allows users to expand their avenues of experiencing ham radio.  I can tell you this however.. I can and have made contacts with 30 watts on JT65 that took me 1Kw to make on CW.. This has happened on several occasions from this station and within about 5 or 10 minutes time and on Top Band to boot.. Play around experience all that ham radio has to offer don't worry about the mode... learn what works and   LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL.

<Hello brethren, 

<I?m ready to be crucified yet I couldn?t resist asking a question: 
<What's the value of JT modes qso for a dxer? 
<IMHO Digimodes undermine the value of low band dxing. I don't arfue over reliability of the modes and their help in extension <of hamradio capabilities in general yet JT and such do not require much from the operator. 

<With all due respect,
