submode Q65-60A, the recommended submode for EME on 50 and 144 MHz,
which will accommodate drift rates up to 20 Hz/minute. Similarly, we
suggest *Max Drift* = 40 for submode Q65-15C, used for for 10 GHz QSOs

capability provides a major advantage for efficient EME communication
on bands up to 432 MHz. A single-channel _MAP65_ system works
extremely well for EME on 1296 MHz and higher bands, displaying all
signals in a 90 kHz sub-band and decoding all the Q65 and JT65
signals.
