[NLRS] Question regarding modes/frequencies

[KA0RXX]

Guess I should have made it clear that I am thinking SSB PSK :)  While 
most of my past experience has been FM, we have a IC-211 so we'd be 
doing this on SSB.

We have done some sstv 145.500 FM and that's been pretty interesting.   
I guess that should be another question, does that freq/mode sound ok to 
everyone?  (that one seemed awfully well documented from many sources).
