Hello Everyone, Can you direct me to free software that enables the use of the Olivia mode? Is there a band where it is most popular, and, what is that...
Hi Marc, Try fldigi - a multimode program which includes Olivia (all possible modes, if you use the "Custom" setting). Available on Windows and Linux...
FLdigi works great for Olivia as well as many other possible modes including PSK 31. If you are also into sending messages for either NTS or ARES/RACES,...
... Thank you everyone. I was thinking of a slightly different question than above: Is there an activity URL that shows current Olivia activity and on which...
Hi Marc, I'm no expert on Olivia and don't use it very often. I'm sure someone will chime in with frequently used frequencies, but I'd look just above the PSK...

Marc, Don't overlook Olivia's younger sister Contestia. Works much the same, just faster or narrower at the expense of a slight bit less sensitivity. You would...
After being off the air for 15 years, I became active again late 2010, stumbled around, bought an 817nd July 2011 (already have a Yaesu 840), have made over...
Hello Folks, I used SignaLinkUSB for PSK31 in the past, can I use it for Olivia? Is there a free software app that allows the use of SignLink? Thanks, Marc,...

Marc, open MixW on your screen, click on "file", scroll down the list and click on "extras", then click on "modes", then click on "select all" and then...
Awesome, Ray! This was perfect information. Marc To: oliviadata@yahoogroups.com From: ray.goodall@... Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2012 10:15:34 -0600 Subject: RE:...
Hello Folks, This is probably too early to say this, but, I don't hear anyone on Olivia, either on 14.074.65 & 7.042.50, spending off and on an hour or so, on...
Hi Marc, This is a general problem - lack of activity in any modes other than PSK31, PSK63, JT65a and ROS. Your best bet is 20m: 14.105-6, 14.106-7 and...
... The certain times and hours is "whenever someone else is on". It's hit and miss although this weekend with the DX contest was maybe not the ideal time. ...
at 1400utc, I'm listening to 14.107.50 olivia 32/1000 hearing two European hams as advised by hamspots posted I am on 14.105.5 and wb0kgn is answering me it...

... Activity may have been down because of the DX contest, a lot of people exhaust themselves on that and then close up shop. Non contesters may just avoid...
Excellent advice, Ken. I tend to find other activities when there's a contest going on. As fairly new to Olivia & Contestia, slow compared to psk31, but...
... Contestia 8/250 is 30 wpm, 4/250 is 40 wpm. Personally I like 4/250 Contestia or Thor. Thor and MT63-500 are up in the 60 wpm range. Dominio EX8 also...
... Thanks, Ken. I will try another time period because of the contest/folks burned out from the contest. MixW2 does not appear to have RX/TXID, at least I...
