DATA modes

Not even that Mal, only been a few data qso's since the band was released , very odd , but I think , mode to RF generation remains a big problem

There are stns working CW but mostly amongst themselves above 500 Khz. I
have not listened for some time so not sure what is happening at present.
In the past the ones that I have heard are usual in Beacon mode at around 5
wpm or QRSS.
I have worked both the USA es Canada on 500 Khz CW some years back but this
was pre arranged and CW was more popular and no DATA modes about like the
present time.
There is very little mention from across the pond on this reflector about
what is happening at present regarding working in QSO mode across to Europe
It seems BEACONS and DATA modes are popular at present but I prefer CW
I hope this answers your question but you could ask on the reflector if
anyone across the pond is interested in CW QSO operating with Europe and see
if anyone responds.
