General Information
Date/Time: 
April 11, 2009 - 12:00 - 18:00 UTC
Objective: 

To have a contest where participants get to play with PSK variants. The PSK 31 Flavors Contest is an exciting warm-up for the TARA Skirmish multi-mode contest.

Modes: 

Use the following 5 PSK mode variants -

  • BPSK 31 [Narrow bandwidth]
  • QPSK 31 [Narrow bandwidth]
  • BPSK 63 [Wide bandwidth]
  • QPSK 63 [Wide bandwidth]
  • BPSK 125 [Very wide bandwidth]
Frequencies/Bands: 

20 Meters only

  • normal PSK sub-band for narrow mode variants,
  • sub-band 14072.5 - 14080 kHz suggested for wide bandwidth mode variants.

Some of the contest mode variants are relatively wide. Please allow sufficient room between your signals and those of your fellow PSK explorers. Certainly give plenty of room to civilians in the accepted PSK and RTTY sub-bands.

For Non-Ø7Ø Members - State/Province/DXCC Entity + Name
