[VHFcontesting] 1296 Digital

[Buddy Morgan]

 If you want to try some FT 8, before the contest, there were eight stations, in Florida, on 144.174, last night. There is FT 8 activity on 432.174, after our SSB net, (432.090 @2030 EST) on Thursday nights. There are two stations, here in Florida with 1296 FT 8 capability: W4BCX and W4RAA

All,

W4NH will be on all bands 6m to 70cm and 1296 from EM84ao for the January
contest.  On 1296 we will be running 100 - 150 watts into a pair of 45
element loop Yagi's at 30 feet.  We view the January contest in particular
as a time to try out new things.  We would like to give one or more of the
digital modes a go on 1296.  For terrestrial work what are the current
modes of choice and frequencies for same?  We will be using WSJT-X Version
2 so any of the modes supported by that application are fair game.

Activity is a bit sparse down here in the Southeast so there hasn't been a
large opportunity to practice.  What are your thoughts?

Tnx and see you in the contest,

Johnny K4SQC
