Like me . I,m very active on 2Mtr SSTV and RTTY. Just started playing with
PSK31, now that is good. You maynot hear the signal on the speaker, but the PSK
prog gets it fine. I recommend Winpsk.

SB>>>> air.
With me being a UK M1 licence, this means no access below 30Mhz without a morse
pass, I'm limited to 6mtr and above, however, it is 99% certain that the
WRC2003 conf will scrap morse for full access. Why 2003 I will never know. It
wwould be so easy for each countries radio regulatory body to scrap it now,
just like they have lowered the 12wpm to 5wpm, and as long as the actual exam
is passed, allow full HF access.
This is my personal opinion only, and I do aggree with those who say morse
should stay, fine, but make it optional not mandatory.
