Hi John,

You would be surprised what you can work using FSK441 off of random meteors. You can really make some QSOs when you catch even one of the minor meteor showers.

JT65 works good for EME also. FSK441 will get you QSOs beyond the range that you can get on tropo with JT65.

Hello all,



I understand that FSK441 is primarily used for meteor scatter and JT65 is
for Tropo and HF too.  But for VHF contesting especially on 2M and above
isn't JT65 the preferred mode for weak signal work?



I would think the ionization from small grained sized meteors don't produce enough ionization for 2M and above to reflect off the trail. I would think
JT65 would be better for 2M tropo and above but I'm looking for opinions.





73,



John
