Re: [AMRadio] 7190 and/or 7195? Region 1 Bandplan contains no provisionfor AM in expanded 40m band
Don posted: In preparation for the expansion of 40 meters in Region 1 on March 29, 2009, the HF Committee debated a band plan to incorporate the change from 7.000-7.100 to 7.000-7.200 MHz. The conference adopeted the following plan: * 7.000-7.025 MHz, CW, contest preferred (200 Hz maximum bandwidth) * 7.025-7.040 MHz, CQ, QRP Center of Activity to be 7.030 MHz (200 Hz maximum bandwidth) * 7.040-7.047 MHz, Narrow band modes (digimodes) (500 Hz maximum bandwidth) * 7.047-7.050 MHz, Narrow band modes (digimodes, unattended automatically controlled data stations) (500 Hz maximum bandwidth) * 7.050-7.053 MHz, All modes (digimodes, unattended automatically controlled data stations) (2700 Hz maximum bandwidth) * 7.053-7.060 MHz, All modes (digimodes) (2700 Hz maximum bandwidth) * 7.060-7.100 MHz, All modes, digital voice 7070, SSB QRP Center of Activity to be 7.090 MHz, SSB contest preferred (2700 Hz maximum bandwidth) * 7.100-7.130 MHz, All modes, Region 1 Center of Activity to be 7.110 MHz (2700 Hz maximum bandwidth) * 7.130-7.200 MHz, All modes, SSB contest preferred, Image Center of Activity to be 7.165 MHz (2700 Hz maximum bandwidth) * 7.175-7.200 MHz, All modes, priority for intercontinental operation (2700 Hz maximum bandwidth Get ready for the same fiasco that we suffered last year. Notice not ANY mention of AM in their bandplan and a subsection for unattended operation. Even though this is a pretty minute portion of the band, I think it serves as a 'foot-in-the-door' type of mentality. I will give them some credit for suggesting a section of the band specifically for contests. I hate to think what the future holds instore for us here in Region 2. You know how they like to stick together.

I had the impression the R-390 was essentially a R-388 with a digital readout. No, they're pretty different.

Region 1 Bandplan contains no provision for AM in expanded 40m band From ARRL Letter: == IARU REGION 1 MEETS IN CROATIA Earlier this month, IARY Region 1 held its triennial conference in Cavtat, Croatia. Forty IARU Member Societies were present, with another 12 Member Societies represented via proxy. IARU Vice President Tim Ellam, VE6SH, and IARU Secretary David Sumner, K1ZZ, also attended the conference http://www.arrl.org/news/files/CT08_Cavtat_Final_plenary_minutes.pdf. Sunday, November 16, marked the opening of the five day conference that was hosted by. Hrvatski Radioamaterski Savez (HRS), Croatia's IARU Member Society http://www.hamradio.hr/. HRS President Kreso Kovarik, 9A5K, welcomed local and national officials and conferees. Kovarik said he was pleased that that the IARU chose to have the 2008 conference in Croatia, and expressed his view that this would be of great value to Croatia and to the HRS. Ellam spoke next, relaying greetings from IARU President Larry Price, W4RA, who was unable to attend. Ellam took this opportunity to briefly review the work done by IARU over recent years and said he looked forward to WRC 11. He thanked Region 1 and the HRS for their excellent organizational arrangements for the conference. Region 1 President Ole Garpestad, LA2RR, echoed Ellam's good wishes and noted that there were 50 delegations present for this conference, either in person or by proxy. The conference was formally opened by Kreso Antonovic, Director of Electronic Communications and Postal Service Directorate, Ministry of Sea, Transport and Infrastructure, Croatia. A postage stamp commemorating the conference was unveiled at a recption for heads of delegations and invited guests that followed. One of the highlights of the conference was the election of new officers. With 41 out of 49 votes cast, Hans Blondeel Timmerman, PB2T, of the Netherlands, was elected President. Mustapha Diop, 6W1KI, of Senegal, was unanimously elected Vice President. Dennis Green, ZS4BS, of South Africa, was elected Secretary and Andreas Thiemann, HB9JOE, of Switzerland, was elected Treasurer. Rounding out the Region 1 Executive Committee are Hani Raad, OD5TE, of Lebanon; Betty Magnon, F6IOC, of France; Nikola Percin, 9A5W, of Croatia; Panayot Danev, LZ1US, of Bulgaria, and Colin Thomas, G3PSM, of Great Britain.

Delegates agreed unanimously to recommend to Member Societies the importance of the annual Jamboree on the Air and encouraged the organizations to assist Scouts with the event. By doing so, the delegates said, this will promote Amateur Radio to Scouts to where they will get their Amateur Radio license and become active on the air. The delegates also recommended that an additional category be introduced to Amateur Radio contests wherever possible. Details for the Youngsters and Newcomers category will be left to individual contest organizers to develop. Delegates also encouraged contest organizers to replace signal strength reports required in contests with some other less predictable exchange, so as to enhance the skill requirements of contest operators.
Re: [AMRadio] 7190 and/or 7195? Region 1 Bandplan contains no provision for AM in expanded 40m band
The first revised Region 1 bandplan with bandwidth limits, from which much of the Region 2 bandplan was shaped, was announced in 2006. Region 3 bandplan indicates phone operation bandwidth to exceed 2 KHz. Region 2 covers AM bandwidth mostly with an * in their chart indicating band segements where AM can run 6 KHz bandwidth. 10 meter segment in their chart does show 6 Khz bandwidth for AM in the 29.0-29.2 segment.

Hi Ron, I too was lurking and listening. A little noisy than usual for this time of year. Great signals from W4QCU, W8JBT, K0RMK, etc. Very nice ops and then heard them stand-bye for the military net. It was a hoot to listen to BC-375s and talks about antennas before that while surfing the net about AM Phone and Class E. I couldn't sleep, but all of this was very relaxing!! 73 de jay/w5jay..

Re: [AMRadio] early am AM
I'll have to third this! I was up at 3AM CST, listening. I ought to fire up the Apache/HQ-140X (all I have for 75 right now) but it is much more fun to listen. Here in Nebraska the band wasn't too noisy, but it was long! W3PWW (old military net) usually comes in around an S5, but today he was THIRTY OVER NINE I also heard the gentleman in Arizona with the signal of a local.
