Real-time QSO coordination
Thank you, THANK YOU, Randy W4RTT, for offering to take the “I’m here, anybody else” traffic off the email and into a chat room. There is another option that is always available and independent of ban

Chat room availability
I think the beginning of a new year might be a good time to remind members about the availability of this chat room for real-time coordination of QSOs. I see quite a few instances on our 070 Club Grou

Band Plan
Jerry, you missed the point of my post. Nobody was violating any rules. SSB on 7.070 is legal (in fact, encouraged during contests) in IARU Region 1 but not in IARU Region 2. The problem is the disagr

Looking for North Dakota
Do we have any PODXS members in North Dakota? I'm almost to my WAS 40 meter digital endorsement, and I'd rather get ND as a PSK-31 contact than an FT8 entry -- but I never seem to hear a ND station. M

HF Digital Mode Band Plan Review
Yes, can we please ease off on the FT8 bashing? I can’t help but wonder how many of the critics of FT8 have actually operated in that mode on a busy day. Finding an open transmit frequency and monitor

Continuous tones on 40 meters?

Digifest observes PSK-31 bands :)
With all the recent grousing about FT8 "incursions", it's worth noting that the folks running DigiFest 2020 are going out of their way to avoid QRMing PSK-31 operations. (https://rigexpert.com/digifes

Other bands besides 20
I often try 40 meters at 2300 CDT (0400 UTC) in an effort to support our members who say the eastern US goes to bed too early. :) PSKreporter indicates my CQs are are reaching Georgia, West Virginia,

7th Area QSOP
This is just a “heads up because I haven’t seen it mentioned elsewhere on the reflector. The 7th Area QSO Party is underway today, and this year they are allowing DIGITAL ops. See http://ws7n.net/7QP/
