Brad, Here in the U.S., repeaters can only operate on a coordinated frequency. They then have the right to operate and no one else can claim the right to a repeater output frequency without the permission of the frequency coordinator and anyone who was on that frequency would have to accept any "interference."
In terms of HF, it would a a very unusual radio amateur who would know all the HF frequencies that are used by the many e-mail servers and other automated radio servers. On another questions you had on 30 meter operation, ARRL's bandplan is 10.130 to 10.140 for RTTY and 10.140 to 10.150 for packet. This leaves 10.100 to 10.150 for CW which normally can operate anyplace on any band with the exception of the new 60 meter band which unfortunately prohibits CW and digital. 73, Rick, KV9U Brad wrote: > --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Dave Bernstein" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > If I'm hunting a clear spot to call CQ and there's a clear frequency > > in the automatic sub-bands, I should be able to call CQ there > > without fear of later being QRM'd by an automatic station that > > doesn't listen before transmitting. > > Would you do this on a repeater output then complain if someone who > can't hear you keyed the repeater?
