Then I tell 'em I'm running a Flex 3000. Lulz.

Yes it is a conversational mode. Also, Olivia is one of those modes that you have to want to use- not a massive amount of activity.

The lid factor seems lower as well. I like it.

I'd like to get more into AM, but fer f's sake...I swear some of those guys starting talking in 1972 and haven't stopped since.

The hotter the tubes get, the more warm glow they get out of their modulation. I've heard guys talk non stop upwards of 20 minutes for exactly the reason I stated.

I don't get it. I even burned the negative.

Perhaps this will help?

In all fairness, I haven't tried it yet due to too much other stuff going on, but it is on my to do list for 2016.

YADM, Yet Another Digital Mode.

A hell of a lot faster than the slow "JT" modes, so it's more conversational.

I never saw the point of Olivia. It's true that it's faster than PSK-31, but the latter is as fast as I can type anyhow and uses less bandwidth.

Error correction.

Olivia can decode signals 13db below the noise level.
