In Canada, we are "encouraged" by RAC (Radio Amateurs of Canada) and the Canadian government to follow the newly released
IARU Region 2 Band plan. The station you singled out, VE2AFQ, is not operating "illegally" when operating just below 14070 as a Pactor PMBO. A polite reminder sent to the station might work? There are a number of US PMBO Stations which list access frequencies very close to 14070.0 . K6IXA, KB6YNO, N0IA , to name a few. These are certainly not in the unattended band portion. Have a look at the Winlink station list for more information. So this brings up the questions; "is it acceptable for US stations to ignore the IARU Region 2 band plan, when FCC regulations allow them to, or should they attempt To voluntarily follow the IARU band plan AND comply with FCC regulations?" And " Should the IARU attempt to have member countries accept the band plan as written, and to enact a set of bandwidth-based regulations which would enforce this plan? " John VE5MU
