(From ARRL Michigan Section Summary Email)

SEC WB8RCR issues this reminder: Digital Test Planned for April 11.

The Section will hold a test of HF digital modes on April 11. Each DEC will be
asked to provide one station to transmit, preferably an EOC. Other stations
are asked to copy. There will be a schedule of times and modes published.
All tests will be held on 80 meters. Receiving stations are asked to save
their copy and email it to W8RIT. This test will give us some insight into
the effectiveness of some of the HF digital modes over various paths. While
a test conducted over a single morning will not be able to give us much
insight into the effect of varying conditions, we do hope to gain some
feeling for how effectively we might use these modes within the section.
Modes to be tested are BPSK-31, Olivia 16/500, MFSK 16, and MT63 500 long.
Stations are asked to begin familiarizing themselves with their software and
check out their interfaces if they do not use them routinely. More details
will be sent to all DECs and ECs and published on the ARPSC web site.
Thanks, John WB8RCR
