I have never understood this attitude that countries outside the U.S. should be able to have to move down for voice transmissions. What it says to me is those operatiors view those lower areas as having more room without QRM.
When I compare the amount of ham signals on the bands to say 25 years ago, it does seem like there are fewer numbers. And this is especially true in the CW/digital areas with fewer CW signals. The folks who are most affected on the lower bands, especially 160/80/40, from "local" or in country signals, are certainly not the DX stations, but those who are much closer. The other sore point with me is not being allowed to operate voice modes below 7.100 on 40 meters. This means that when working split, you are taking up twice as much space. It is unfortunate that there could not have been a DX area in such cases. For those countries who intentionally transmit voice in the lower portions, when they really do not need to for working DX, I find very inappropriate. On another note, there seems to be more illegal operation and some of it close to criminal. Has anyone been noticing that there have been voice stations right on top of WWV on 10 MHz at times? I don't think this is some kind of image rejection problem with my Pro II. 73, Rick, KV9U jgorman01 wrote: > Believe me there are Canadian and/or Mexican/South Americans signals > down around 3590 and 7040. > > Besides that wasn't the point I attempted to make.
