<br><br>What I'm concerned about is whether the ARRL is interested in technically sophisticated and efficient protocols, or if they have a more pragmatic interest in protocols that are likely to be widely available and in common use (
e.g. PSK31). There is probably a middle ground out there, but I can't discern the goal from the request from ARRL.<br><br>Cheers,<br>-- <br>Larry Gadallah, VE6VQ/W7 lgadallah AT gmail DOT com<br>
