I had 3 interruptions from 3 different stations during an Oliva 8/500 net last night on 80m within about a 5 minutes timespan.
And, BTW, I know for damn sure they could see and hear my signal as I switched to RTTY at 50w on all stations and repeated "the frequency is in use" until the moved. I don't think anyone should suggest limiting to contests to fixed frequencies, but it damn sure would be nice if some of the mindless RTTY contesters would start showing some common courtesy by listening a second or two before stomping on QSO's in progress. -Dave, KB3FXI --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "g4ilo" <jul...@...> wrote: > > And the hundreds of people who take part in the major RTTY contests would all > operate on three fixed frequencies how, exactly? > > Julian, G4ILO > > --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Steinar Aanesland <saanes@> wrote: > > > > > > Well, "old" modes like rtty has its charm, but as the ultimate contest > > mode it makes more trouble for the ham community when it is flooding the > > hole band, than "fix frequency" modes like ROS. > > > > The only problem with ROS is its developer, with his strange behavior. > > > > la5vna Steinar > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > On 18.07.2010 06:10, la7um wrote: > > > > > > > > > Wow Steinar.
