    By the way, the frequency for most PSK31 activity is on 14.070 USB (20m) as shown on the VFO. There is also a lot of activity on 18.108 USB, which is the 17m band.
    You have to be a General Class or better to use PSK31 on 17m and 20m. I think you can use digital modes on the CW part of 10m and 80m with a Technician Class, but I only work digital on 20m.
