The 30m digital net will use PSK-31, MFSK-16, and Feld Hell. PSK-31 has
a very narrow bandwidth and is the most popular digital mode. MFSK-16
uses less bandwidth than RTTY and has error correction. Feld Hell has
great weak-signal capability because of its binary characteristic and
because the human eye can read the writing better than a computer
algorithm.
I've decided against the wider-bandwidth modes (like MT63) because 30m
is a narrow band. And of course, many digital modes (like PACTOR) are
intended for one-on-one QSOs only, not nets.
I still haven't decided on the times for holding the net.
