Here is a list of common JT65A frequencies: How much power do you really need to transmit, with JT65A? Here is a calculator to help you figure that out, based on the reports you receive from other JT65A stations. THIS MODE IS DESIGNED FOR WEAK-SIGNAL DETECTION AND SUCCESSFUL TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION! However, it is also true that under many conditions on most HF bands, it is often demonstrated that lower power has been sufficient to accomplish amazing results. It is true that on some bands, under certain propagation conditions, the contact can only be accomplished with 100 watts of power. They only increase the power if no contact is made! You simply should NOT be running 100 watts, UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO! By running at 100 or greater power, you MAY cause intense interference to all of the other stations on the same frequency, countering any possible benefit of using this mode! DO NOT RUN HIGH POWER UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT YOU CANNOT COMPLETE THE TWO-WAY CONTACT WITHOUT LOWER POWER! USE ONLY THE POWER NECESSARY TO COMPLETE THE CONTACT! The method suggested is to start all calls with lower power, and only increase the power if you must. Many amateur radio operators have worked the world with a simple dipole antenna and 20 watts. This is a WEAK-SIGNAL digital mode! - You should not run much power, at all. It was later realized that this protocol, with some adaptation, would also be very usable for terrestrial HF communications. JT65 includes error-correcting features that make it very robust, even with signals much too weak to be heard. JT65A is actually a "sub-mode" of Joe's original JT65 protocol, which he designed to optimize EME contacts on the HF and VHF bands. Joe has contributed to the amateur radio community in much the same way, changing the playing field for weak-signal operation. Joe, a Professor Emeritus of physics at Princeton University, shares a Nobel Prize with Russell Alan Hulse (ex-WB2LAV) for the discovery of the first pulsar in a binary system as well as the first confirmation of the existence of gravitational radiation in the amount and with the properties first predicted by Albert Einstein. The JT65A communications protocol was conceived and first implemented by Joe Taylor, K1JT. Have you ever wondered how much of the noise you hear on the HF bands is actually comprised of signals too weak to be copied? JT65A is a weak-signal digital mode that allows you to pull great DX out from under the noise on the high frequency spectrum. 7,035.15 is commonly used in Region 2 as of 2012.Introduction to a weak-signal digital mode * Current usage as of 2010, based on observation, is centered on 7,070.15 and 21,070.15. However, here’s a list of observed operating frequencies. There is no authoritative list, as the frequencies are determined by common convention. You can even load the software, and use your computer’s microphone to listen to the incoming audio.

The Digipan software is free and can be used to decode the audio coming from a radio receiving PSK31 and PSK63 signals. Here you’ll find some audio samples and explanations of the encoding. Wikipedia has a great page that talks about this digital mode. The ARRL has a good article about PSK31, and compares it to radio teletype (RTTY) protocol. The PSK Info page is a good place to start for information about this mode of operation. Phase Shift Keying 31 (PSK31) Information On this page you can actually hear some sample sounds from each of them. WB8NUT has a great page that talks about all of the digital modes.
