Let me make it clear no one is blaming digital users for tiring to get adjustments to allow new modes PROVIDED you do not displace existing ones.
Alan ... Yep they sure did ....... NOT The ARRL had no interest in negative input ... NONE of the 6 meter forums and I'm a member of a number of them had comments on it NOR were any of the 6 meter groups asked .... Look at 6 meters and ask how do you justify 100 kHz wide signals on 90% of a DX band ???? Look at 2 meters and where would you place 100 kHz wide signals ???? 145.900 ? 146.520 ???? When myself and a number of others sent E-Mails to arrl directors we got letters directing us to other directors ..... THEY WELL KNOW who to contact for bands like 10 6 or 2 meters if they REALLY want to hear from users. A clip from a digital post ...... "Wow. The league wants total control of "boxing" new modes into a smaller part of the spectrum; meanwhile we keep the analog junker repeaters happy with their bandwidth-hogging transmitters nicely segmented away from new technology. Too bad - you'd think the amateur service would have room for both; antiquated technology and new fanged digital modes." And digital needs 100 kHz now WHO is the bandwidth hog ? AND how many hams are even ARRL members ? No doubt there are ways that new modes can work along side the older ones but common sense among the ARRL Ellette is needed next time.
