Introducing Digital Modes with Evan Duffield M0TJU

Tuesday saw a pleasing number of members gather at Walthew House for this advertised presentation by Evan M0TJU.

I'm sure many of us have seen and heard about these modes previously, but Evan assisted by Tom M0DCG and Tony M0SAV who erected a suitable antenna, described three of the mode he uses on the air, RTTY, PSK31 and MFSK16.

A detailed and informative presentation of over an hour was followed after a coffee break with a practical demonstration. Using PSK31, QSO'd with stations in Croatia and Italy.

A fascinating evening which will have whetted the appetite of those attending to have a go and was a prelude to the shortly to be launched club project.
