Trying other digital modes.

Other digital modes are getting a look see. I have tried Olivia 8/250 and MFSK16. I thought Olivia 8/250 would be perfect for my typing speed, but it is very slow even for me. Getting contacts on any of these modes (including PSK31) so far has been hard. This is true because of my setup and so few active stations. I have been operating only on 20 meters so far.

Revisiting PSK31

Back in the day when PK31 first came on the airwaves I was very active with the mode. Over time I drifted away and became all in with CW. Maybe the fact that I am a poor typist had something to do with the move. Although my typing has not improved very much, I am now giving PSK31 another look. There is far less activity on the bands now than when I was active, but there are operators out there. Time will tell.
