Matt, Chin Up! You perform a very valuable service to the PODXS Club so the least we can do is be patient. I still get Eqsl's from 10 years ago. Hi Hi. Enjoy receiving them so it will seem like Christmas morning when they arrive! Thanks. Joe KA1PPV #1482

Re: 17m PSK31
Why run a KW ... ??? 1) a KW compensates for a crummy antenna ... you'll be 599, but you probably can't copy the station at other end 2) You like higher electric bills 3) You have the Tim "The Toolman" syndrome in which you believe the MORE POWER is the answer to everything 4) You're an unskilled newbie who just came from 11 meters where you ran 10 KW in mobile and have brain damage 5) You enjoy watching the traps on your you antenna go up in flames 6) You like having neighbors curse you because you go though their Wi-Fi, TVs, toasters, electric blankets, thermostats, opening garage doors and so on Feel free to add to list ...

Re: 17m PSK31
F.R. Ashley
I can't imagine running a KW on FT8 or any digital mode. I have run power on RTTY when trying to work a new one but on daily basis, no way.

But that would explain why I get comparatively much weaker signal reports even if bump power up to 50 watts or more. The power runners argument is that even at 500 watts, you can have a weak signal on the receivers end. If I could not get a PSK or FT8 signal through at 500 watts, it's time to go fishing. 73 Buddy WB4M #1545

From what I have experienced since FT8 came out, a lot of the guys that were doing PSK have moved over to FT8.

Re: 17m PSK31
tom@...
Many of the FT8 stations run a full KW. There is a lot of debate between the QRO/QRP people on FT8 groups (it's a weak signal mode, not low power mode).
Yep, Hellschreiber, Olivia, PSK - FT8 steps on lots of things. Like I said, it's all based on the default settings in WSJT-X. If they change the frequencies there, everyone will move. Otherwise it's a lost cause and everything will have to move around them. 73, Tom KN6Q ---In 070@yahoogroups.com, <n9avy@...> wrote : Ray: 14.040 ??? Don't you mean 14.070 ??

Re: 17m PSK31
Ray Clements
As far as ARRL is concerned, PSK does not exist. Neither do most other digital modes. About the only digital modes included in their band plans are RTTY and Packet and SSTV. Beacon frequencies are also assigned. Even our beloved 14.040 MHz PSK frequency is included as part of the RTTY sub-band. Thus,I guess those who use PSK at that frequency are infringing on the rights of RTTY users.
http://www.arrl.org/band-plan
Thus, I guess we have no right to complain about FT8 using the same frequency.

The best chance is to get them to change the frequency they use on when the release version (or RC3) comes out by complaining on the group. This isn't the only band/mode that has a conflict, I don't FT8 also runs into Olivia on 20 meters.
If your hoping FT8 goes away, I seriously doubt it anytime soon. It has absolutely dominated every other digital mode for use since it came out. Even JT65/JT9 modes are pretty dead now, especially JT9.

I just got into the digi modes a couple years ago, and I settled on PSK31 and have loved it. I did notice that whenever I went up to 17 and called there was seldom anyone around. I have made just a hand full of contacts on 17. I do work FT8 and have mad many contacts on 17. But I try to keep above .100 because it is "our" freq. I think it was mostly, "hey these guys aren't using it, so lets us use it" As the old saying says, if you don't use it you will lose it.

Probably not, but "venting" feels good. I am hesitant to join another group after cleaning out several groups people urged me to join. There were days I'd wake up and have way too many emails to answer; so, I purged many email accounts that held little interest. Just don't want to start down that road again.
I'm hoping that once the FT8 people tire of the mode, they'll just go away.
Jerry n9avy
From: "n7we1980@... [070]" <070@...>
I too feel the frustration with FT-8 "taking over" what had been "our" segment of 17m. But I doubt posting our concerns here will do much to change that. May I suggest those of us who feel this is an inappropriate encroachment on the gentlemen's agreement join the WSJT Meteor Scatter and Weak Signal Group https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/wsjtgroup/infoand voice our complaints there?
The group's conversations make for interesting reading - particularly the current thread of Expanding the Watering Hole. Have no doubt - they are coming soon to a frequency we all love and use. Time to make our voice heard!

Re: 17m PSK31
Peter Hiltz
Dick, I'm listening with the radio set to 18.0965 MHz, which puts fldigi at 18.0980 MHz. I've heard nothing other than one CW signal. I can CQ again if you'd like. I'm outside of Baltimore so we might be jumping over each other. Pete WV3S
