Hi John, Your observation about 14109 being "not busy" is not supported by facts. It is probably one of the busiest frequencies in that part of the 20m band. Today I just checked and see activity by more than 20 stations on 14109 using ALE, with hundreds of signals being sent back and forth. I don't take it personally that you made an obvious snide remark about ALE global Emcomm network. However, I do note that in making such a comment, you are being profoundly disrespectful to many excellent operators who volunteer their time and devote their energy and resources freely to constant public service in the ham community.
