Nope- if they are there I go elsewhere. I expect others to do the same. But I cannot begin to count the times I have been there in a QSO when something I couldnt copy came up on top of us and ruined it.
They can work on my freq all day, as long as I cant hear them and they dont interupt my communications, but that is not the case in the ones I am referring to. Mostly my breaths of air are between dits and dahs and I hope I dont hear them then, cause it will stop me from sending, to see what is interrupting. In other words, I dont want to hear them on lthe same freq. Even running a 200 cy filter doesnt help in a case like that. If new digital communications can do it silently, more power to them, and why are all the autos not doing them already - then we wouldnt be having this discussion. Even in government communications there are rules about inteference, and we were required to be a certain distance from any and all signals, according to what we were running. If there was another rtty signal within the passband plus a few hundred cycles, we didnt go there If an international registered signal was assigned a certain freq, we had to leave that frequency alone, and not qsy within an intefering distance of it. We had assigned base frequencies that were protected from the rest of the world, and they had the same. If we are to continue to have automatic stations on our bands, then those stations should be assigned a sub band, internationally, and all other hams told that they are, and forbidden their use. Then you will have your auto stations and they can intefere only with each other. Meanwhile, if we have ham bands that are on our lists, we shouldnt have to avoid empty frequencies because someone MAY come up there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "expeditionradio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <digitalradio@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, January 01, 2006 1:46 AM Subject: [digitalradio] Re: Conflict SubBands: Why keyboarding in Automatic Sub-Bands? > ><Danny n7dc wrote>< > > If some hogging signal comes up, that I cant read, Im very > > likely to be there until tomorrow.
