Most used Digital Mode on 50 MHz

Purpose: To promote the use of digital modes on six meters.

Membership: Membership is open to all stations with an interest in the use of digital modes on six meters. You should join this group if you operate digital modes on six meters, if you wish to improve digital processes on six meters and if you want to be part of a group that advocates digital activity on the magic band. There are no dues, the only thing required is "be active".

Activities: Contests are planned and executed by the group. During E-Skip Openings or if sufficient local activity join in the DOS RTTY Round Table. (DRRT) A database is provided where members can post the number of contacts made monthly by digital modes used. Members are given a DOS number after joining the group and are encouraged to share their DOS number during band openings via digital modes.

Volunteers : If you would like to volunteer to work with this group please email wa5ufh@ykc.com The group is in need of someone to plan and coordinate a Digital Contest!
