I'm pretty sure you're not that late, as you're posting. Unless it's some kind of "Frequency" movie kinda thing...

Yes. There are more efficient modes but not suitable for rag-chewing
(which I loathe) except for CW which I can only do by keyboard and decoder.

Are you saying you loathe rag-chewing, or loathe modes that are not
suitable for rag-chewing?

All the best,


Kevin.

What digital modes? PSK31, JT65-HF or JT9? Or dare I ask, plain old
green keys RTTY?

RTTY birds drive me nuts. psk31 is extremely compatible with neighbors.
It's the only HF mode I've tried. I use fldigi and can use dozens of
protocols, but you never know if anybody is listening inless you are in
the overwhelming most popular mode.

I am starting to warm up to 630m. The loading coils are the size of
water heaters. And the coils are what radiates unless you have a really
long wire.
