I hope that this forum is not an indication of the bands!!
After being semi-active for several years. I am getting my digital station back on line.
What are the favorite modes these days??

Re: I'm back
yes, number three.
World Radio (rememebr them?) had a contest to make 31 contacts to 31 different countries on PSK 31 ( 31 on 31 Award).... I have #12.
Not been active in a few years. Still have a radio in the car, but not on PSK31.
I guess I need to d/l the latest version of Ham Radio Deluxe.

I'm glad to hear you're getting back on the digital bands! PSK31 was always my favorite mode from the time I got my General license.
As for favorite modes, PSK31 and PSK63. I operate PSK31 most of the time, but sometimes PSK63. PSK31 seems more popular and relaxed; in PSK63, it sends the text faster than I can type. :)
I would really like to see this website become more active and grow some. That basically boils down to more time spent updating content and posting forum. Lately, I have been really busy with other things and have not been able to devote the amount time I would like to bpsk31.com (or PSK31 for that matter).
One easy way to improve the site is to check the forums at least once a week. That way, ongoing discussions can be formed and questions can be answered in a timely fasion. This is something I am planning to do myself (I'm adding it as a reminder in my email program), however I'll need people to talk with. :) I would really appreciate any help with the site.
If you would like to promote the website, you can go to http://www.eham.net/links/rating/10690 and vote for the site. We've had over 150 referrals in the past day that are coming from eHam.net's Last Rated box on the homepage. I'm always suprised how some of the smallest things can have the biggest impact. The current ratings hit the core of this website's problems: lack of content. I am hoping to change that in the near future.
73 and hope to see you around,
Jacob, KD5TEN
P.S. Wow! 070 #003. Does that mean you were the 3rd member?
