As from 6 October 2010 the HamSphere 30 meter band will be a digital band only. All digital modes are allowed on 30 meters.
PSK31 : Works well.
SSTV: Works, but vulnerable to any small lagging or dropout in the transmissions
RTTY: Works very well
Digital SSTV: Does not work well due to the Audio compression used in HamSphere.

The official HamSphere autumn contest will be announced soon. Information about contest rules and dates will be posted on the HamSphere.com website.
