Hi Eddie, LF/MF,

I'm a bit confused in the last days by the number of various digimodes 
which have been tested. Gary started with RTTY which is fun and allows 
real QSOs on 630m, apart from CW. But if each mode is done as a short 
test to check its performance, then it quickly becomes boring. What i 
would like to have is a mode which is used by several active amateurs, a 
real QSO mode like CW. A mode that lasts longer than a day. I thought 
that AMTOR-FEC could be useful but i didn't make any tests yet. However 
if i have to assume that there will be 2 or 3 interested QSO partners 
who will be available for a short test QSO and then QSY to 
GADFDSMSFASKMDKFK-4 or whatever, then none of these modes are actually 
interesting for me and i come back to CW where i can be sure to find a 
QSO partner without announcing my activity before. Today, tomorrow, next 
week and next year :-)

What do you suggest? :-)

73, Stefan/DK7FC

PS: And where is Mal? :-)

Just a little more signal and this would have been a really good QSO
over our path of 127Km conditions are not good tonight, my antenna
