<H1>W1AW to alternate digital mode schedule</H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Beginning Monday, March 15, 2010, W1AW will alternate the
digital modes used for its digital bulletin transmissions.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>While Baudot, PSK31 and MFSK16 still make up the digital
mode complement, the schedule will be altered to give more exposure to PSK31 and
MFSK16.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Because of time constraints and the varying lengths of
digital bulletins, there were many instances where only Baudot was
used.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>With the new schedule, amateurs preferring either PSK31 or
MFSK16 will find these modes no longer secondary.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The regular callup will be made using the mode that is
transmitted first. The digital bulletin times remain at 6 PM and 9 PM eastern,
daily.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The Tuesday and Friday Keplerian data bulletins will
continue to be sent using just Baudot and PSK31.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The new digital schedule is as follows:<BR><BR>Monday:
Baudot, PSK31, MFSK16<BR>Tuesday: PSK31, MFSK16, Baudot <BR>Wednesday: MFSK16,
Baudot, PSK31<BR>Thursday: Baudot, PSK31, MFSK16<BR>Friday: PSK31, Baudot,
MFSK16</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Given time constraints and bulletin lengths, all three
modes may not always be transmitted.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>The complete W1AW schedule can be found on page 100 of the
January issue of QST, or on the web at,<BR></FONT><A
