Gents,
I agree - isn't the 30m ham band being used for the purpose of adding
legitimate Amateur Radio RF to an otherwise low-use band? I believe that the
FCC would LOVE to strip this band from us and auction it off (remember to what
happened to the 220 MHz band). Who cares what content there

There is a belief by some that others desperately want our HF
frequencies. It seems far from true, but it is used to stir up fear.
The reality is that we do use the 30 meter band a fair amount. If you do
a lot of SW listening, and regularly tune across the bands, you will
find low usage in

When in doubt - just try calling CQ! Maybe the band is not dead after all.

Andy, if you don't get any takers, I have an extra one I will be glad to drop
in the mail to you - no charge.
I purchased four to save on the per-unit shipping cost, with the expectation of
giving them to others who would like to get on NBEMS.

If your transceiver has no VOX for PTT, or you prefer to keep the mic plugged
in, and you have no problem working with tiny SMT pinouts, the USB Sound
Adapter can also be modified to provide an audio-actuated PTT output as well as
audio in and out:: http://www.usbradio.org/usbfob.pdf

low we could go in power. We started out with about 50 watts and
managed to drop our power progressively to 1 watt on each end and

I agree. Static crashes are a powerful QRN source here too.
Guess Olivia would be better, even 8/250 would stand a better chance of
good copy.
In spite of strong signals, if there is no second chance, it does not
matter much how clever Varicode is. It is certainly a big step ahead on

Andy,
There may be some misunderstanding. I already have four of the USB Sound

I am always amazed at the people who say I never call CQ My first
question is alwayWHY?. It takes two to tango!
Time and again, I have listened to 10 meters and heard absolutely nothing.
A couple of CQs often brings a few out of the woodwork. One of my MACROS on
WinWarbler is an automatic CQ,
No problem, I must have been asleep!

I think the thread about the 30M activity weekend and whether this
constituted contesting, has run it's course. Posting about 30M
digital activity and propagation is welcome but lets not get the old
thread any further .

I would have thought by now, with conditions having been the way they
are for some considerable time, all users would have seen strong
transmissions, suitably described as 5/9, within seconds deteriorate
into barely readable signals. This phenomona, for those who may have
temporarily forgotten
Maybe because I'm further south but 20m has been very stable all day on PSK.

I did not realize that there were very many hams who would never send a
CQ. They definitely fall into the very odd category. I recall an article
in one of the ham magazines a few years (probably was actually decades
ago), where the ham would park his rig on just about any quiet frequency
in a
Where was that? 48 to 54 MHz, or somewhere else?
The only old reference I remember, from a 1936 Frank Jones Handbook is
that 5 meters was 56 to 60 MHz (double of the ancient 10 meters band,
before the 300 kHz snip on its top). I am not really sure of how things
evolved from the old 5 meters
Isn't Channel 1 not being used for TV because for all practical
purposes, it is the 6 meter band that we do have access to?
TV Channels actually start with ... Channel 2 ... which is 54 to 60 MHz.
I am a bit ahead of the curve for digital TV as we have been watching it
for several years now.
