[VHFcontesting] JT65 vs. FSK441

[Rhinosix]

Around here FN21 its JT65a at 50.276  and JT9 at 50.278.  For 2 meters 
(144.176) to 70 cm its JT65b as in the Multipsk program.  At 1296 maybe 
JT65c but I don't
operate there.

Hello all,



I understand that FSK441 is primarily used for meteor scatter and JT65 
is
for Tropo and HF too.  But for VHF contesting especially on 2M and above
isn't JT65 the preferred mode for weak signal work?



I would think the ionization from small grained sized meteors don't 
produce
enough ionization for 2M and above to reflect off the trail.  I would 
think
JT65 would be better for 2M tropo and above but I'm looking for 
opinions.





73,
