Excuse my ignorance, but why are we trying to use
14105 to 14110 for OLIVIA and the other modes then?
Why are we not down between 14073 and 14080, for
example?
I am not up on the FCC rules, our country's
regulations would not prohibit Olivia and the like in that segment. It doesn't
make sense to beat each
other over the head with QRM........ and I always
thought Winlink was winlink, not several different versions

traffic handling and digital
Please do not confuse the NTSD using the Winlink Classic
program with the
Winlink 2000 email system. All of the NTSD Winlink
Classic stations I connect
to stay within in the automatic sub-bands as
laid out in FCC regulations,
Part 97.221(b). These are: 14095-140995khz
and 14100.5-14112khz. In fact, all
of the stations I connect to on 20m are
either at 14096khz or 14098khz. Some
other stations may use other
frequencies but these are the main ones.
This is different from the
Winlink 2000 email group which has statons on such
frequencies as 14065,
14069, 14070, 14105, 14107, and 14109khz. Please note
that the frequencies
between 14100.5khz and 14112khz *are* designated by the
FCC as being for
automatic type operation.
So if you want to get involved with handling
NTS messages instead of email
messages, getting involved with the NTSD
should not be an interference
problem.
Just as a plug - the FCC
has put out RM-11305 and RM-11306 out for public
comment. They will both
have significant impacts on digital users. Analyze
the proposals carefully
and MAKE COMMENTS TO THE FCC. Make your analyses
carefully, some impacts
of the proposals could actually result in more
interference to digital
operations instead of less.
