[VHFcontesting] 1296 Digital

[Al Wells]

A few of us up here have also been talking about using a digital mode 
for weak signals on 1296 and up. Joe Taylor told one of my buddies that 
JT65 was our best bet. Most of the contest contacts on those bands are 
arranged as you "run the bands", so calling frequencies, while nice, are 
not quite as important. I would still like to see some protocols developed.

Hope to see as many of you as possible this coming weekend. I will be 
operating with WA3EHD FN20 on 50 MHz thru 10 GHz.
