I suppose if the pictures had to get through because of an emergency, the VFO could have been used as per Hollingsworth's comments @ Dayton. Maybe a secondary frequency should be selected for the net or a VFO procedure since none of us "own" a frequency no matter how long we may have been using it. Communications can always go on, if we want to!
William A. Collister N7MOG _____ From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of aa0oi Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2007 7:34 AM To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Subject: [digitalradio] I Apologize To the great group of Digital Pic Guys that we had on 7.178 on Sat. I apologize for not being able to have a net this Sunday morning. I apologize the the arrogant and rude hams that do contesting and don't listen to a freq before transmitting, and do splits without listening and move within 1 kc with 1500 watts. I apologize for CQ mag. for having such a contest and making any type of communications (other than thier contest) impossible. (and for making it three days long!) I apologize to hams in other countries for trashing ALL the US freqs with "CQ Contest" (etc) for 3 days. I apologize "for" the FCC for allowing this deliberate type of interference to go on and continue on ALL SSB freqs. (give them 100kc on each band and let them have at it) I hope to see you all on next Saturday 8am on 7.178 for more pictures and conversation. (and Sunday) Garrett/ AA0OI
