Yeap the 144.188 was a typo, freq originally involved is 144.288. I meant to fix it in the 2nd msg on this, but forgot to note the typo.

With the huge delays in msg postings making things awkward for this type of discussion, I'm going to make this my last for this topic.

73 & hope to hear some of you on for the UHF Contest.

Original msg behind all this:

> Jay's comment to the VHF list got me to think about all of the No-code hams
out there. The ratio of no-code to know-code is bound to increase over time. 
We really ought to get out of denial and start truly exploiting the simple
digital stuff like PSK31.

Monday (remember, Monday is 2m "activity" night)?

USB at 9:00 pm Eastern and see what we can work in all directions. A bunch of
QSO's will fit in the waterfall, so that shouldn't be a big deal.

modes, from my memory...but certainly more "QSO capable".
