    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.

    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.

    Like that post was...
    Moving on, my posts are not helpful

    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.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Error correction.

    Olivia can decode signals 13db below the noise level.
