[VHFcontesting] WSJT versions for January VHF Contest?

[Mark Spencer]

As a related question what is the current wisdom / custom re selecting which sequence to run ?

I'm typically to the North and or West of most other stations and when running FSK441 would usually run first.

The one time I made a serious effort to run FSK441 on two bands at the same time while roving it made sense to me to run both bands on the same sequence.   I figured having both receivers running at the same time would help mitigate any de sense issues.  


Any comments would be appreciated.

The reason is, if I have to listen to two station via the rocks, I can handle 3 kHz spacing. But as this mode catches on, and it going to go the the general population real soon noww, how do I handle a ham neighbor 20 miles away running MSK144 at the same time? The 3 kHz spacing will be a problem for most rigs. 4 or 5 Khz would be doable on most.

>> Hi Tom and everyone interested in this thread.....I think that it is clear that MSK has won the war.  Few, if any, will be using FSK441 in the future.  I would be in favor of moving the "calling frequency" back to 50.260MHz(or even lower).  I have the following problem:  The farther we get the meteor operations away from 50.125MHz, the worse the antennas work.  I would be perfectly happy to move the calling frequency down even farther. We have 6M EME around 50.200MHz, so we need to stay away from that, but we could use anything in the 50.220 to 50.240 range.  I don't know of anything using those frequencies.  That means that at least 7 guys will come on saying that their activities occur in that range....HI.
