[VHFcontesting] Non meteor scatter digi modes in the Jan contest ?

[Paul Rollinson]

Good morning all,

How many of you actively try making terrestrial contacts (lengthening
distance using digital) using JT65A? 2m, 222 or 432?

I would like to experiment from my QTH in a non-contest setting.

Normally, I can make contacts to fn0* and FM08 on 2M but I'm wondering if I
can improve my range by a grid or 2 using Digital mode.

Let me know if anyone wants to give it a try. Tomorrow morning would be
great.

73,

Thanks,

For JT65a give 50.276 a try, fpr the calling freq.   On  2 meters maybe
144.176 JT65a or b.

Hi Mark

I'm also curious about using non MS modes during a contest.  I doubt blind
CQing on QRA64 would be very productive.  Posting on PJ and then CQing might
work.
