So far I've only made one computer aided ham band contact.  That was 
PSK63.  Just wondering if anyone is using that mode for vhf contesting?  
The mode sure looks to me like it would work well for the purpose.

The digital modes are on my list of thing to do but so far it keeps 
slipping down the list.  WSJT will probably eventually get me back on 
EME.  I'm certainly not anti digital.  It's just another interesting 
aspect of our hobby.  I'm not a competitive person but I respect those 
who are.  I do however believe a valid contact requires a complete 
unaided exchange.  I believe just about all competitively vhf ops feel 
the same unlike a lot of HF DX chasers I hear.
