"Antennas are like cars. Some people buy a car because they like the color, others like the performance, some like the reliability, and some the price. Some buy an antenna because it stays up in the wind, some because it's quiet and broad band, some because they can use it on all bands, and some because of the price. People will discuss the SWR and mechanical details all day, but almost nobody will bother to get a switch and step attenuator and make a real objective comparison to another antenna. My conclusion is that the factor people care the least about is how strong a signal an antenna radiates." -- Roy Lewallen, W7EL

PROPSED FREQUENCIES for PSK31 QSO

From The Official PSK31 WWW Homepage .
The plan for PSK31 activity has always been to concentrate activity starting from the bottom edge of the IARU RTTY bandplan, expanding upwards as activity increased. The exception is in the 10mts band in order to give non full privileges ham to meet. It was defined as 150 Hz above it. Keep in mind that all you need is about 100 Hz as channel separation.
