We have had PSK and RTTY and APRS users for DECADES and because they take up similar space they do not cause a problem AND they have place themselves AWAY from most other users ..... however you know unlike the 5 watt comments What we see on 6 is the HIGH power boys crawl out of the woodwork at the slightest band opening NOW .... take 500 100 kHz wide 1KW signals mix them and add in how intense skip at 50 MHz can be and it will sound like Cb .......
Last year i sent out over 300 QSL cards on 6 SSB alone also a smaller number on 52.525 FM and a handful on 50.4 AM I have PSK-31 but at this time it is not working correctly but one opening MANY psk-31 stations were on 6 along with the CW/SSB/AM and FM guys. The ARRL grips about BPL then wants to place it on 6 meters ..... IF the ARRL had restricted it to ABOVE 50.5 and BELOW 51.5 Most of us could live with it because that part of the band is VERY lightly used and far enough away from weak signal users that it would not be likely to cause problems . 2 Meters is a similar problem everything above 145 has users on it and below 144.300 is weak signal work ..... This is NOT a digital must be stopped thing but a digital needs to be able to live with all the other modes ..... and the ARRL idea that us old foggys are going to die off is going to be prove wrong ..... they seem to be bent of KILLING us ..... I must remind you only the good die young ..... And I'm not known for being good ..... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Get your own web address.
