John, I think CTCSS should remain voluntary. I'm not sure how well it would work with my CB conversion.
I'd love, though, to get rid of "remote bases" on distant UHF and VHF repeaters indiscriminately spilling local chatter out on 10 FM during band openings. Nothing like having your contact with DX interrupted by two old guys from Boston talking about a colonoscopy on their local 222 MHz machine. Or trying to monitor 29.6 when its covered in heterodynes from hams who don't even own 10m rigs! 73, Paul, AE4KR ----- Original Message ----- From: JOHN MACKEY To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, December 23, 2007 12:48 AM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 10 meter desense help, split site, high noise floor. It would be nice if we could also work in to the rulemaking a requirement for 10 meter repeaters to be CTCSS or digital access for every transmission. ------ Original Message ------ Received: Sat, 22 Dec 2007 11:45:13 PM CST From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 10 meter desense help, split site, high noise floor. > At 12/22/2007 20:40, you wrote: > > >It's been tried many times since the 1970's..... > > > >LJ > > The Commission has been a lot more flexible lately, so a petition for > rulemaking that asks for more 10 meter repeater spectrum may be a > worthwhile effort now.
