<div class="yiv8482612950moz-cite-prefix">I tried WSPR on 144 MHz a couple of
times with a ham in Canada, but neither of us heard anything. I
suspect that our oscillators were not stable enough. Carol KP4MD
in California uses WSPR on both 144 and 432 with pretty good
success, but I know she uses a very stable oscillator. I see her
posts on Facebook quite a bit.<br clear="none">

Next time I'm in the shack, Dan, I'll look for you on the ON4KST

<div>From the west coast I tried for years to get others
to try digital on 144mhz to no avail. Other than the
EME and meteor scatter guys everyone else always has
some excuse for why they don't. Here in MI I've had a
little more success at getting people to try digital,
but for the most part it is just like my experiences
on the west coast, and that is they are either not
interested and indifferent or irrationally hostile to
the idea. I'll participate if you can get it started
but I'm done, sorry to say, with trying to actively
recruit people to experiment with digital modes.<br clear="none">

If anyone on the list wants to experiment you can find
me on the KST 6m and 2m chat most of the time and I'll
be happy to oblige.<br clear="none">

there anyone in or near Michigan that would like
to try PSK-31 on 144 MHz? The guys in Texas are
giving it a try. Might be something interesting
to do until the propagation improves. Here is
info on what they are doing in Texas.<br clear="none">

We’ll be at it again; Saturday Morning, 2-meter
PSK-31 round table at 8:00 a.m. central time.
Frequency, 144.150, USB.<br clear="none">
There are a handful of us in the east Texas area,
EM22 that will be on the air calling CQ on BPSK-31
from 8:00 a.m. until around 9:00 a.m.<br clear="none">
We have made contacts with stations in the Dallas
and Houston Areas using 20 to 25 watts.<br clear="none">
For the most part we are all using horizontally
polarized antennas, but if you only have a
vertical, go ahead and give a listen and or a
call.<br clear="none">
We will hijack the Rusk County Amateur Radio
Club’s chat page again to coordinate with each
other.<br clear="none">

Like this: KN5G-Keith<br clear="none">
We eventually migrate to 144.200 and try some USB
voice contacts, so keep that in mind as we get
closer to 9:00 a.m.<br clear="none">
