[AMRadio] Re: 160 Propagation
Larry, F layer ionization has been unusually weak due to the winter season and beginning of solar cycle 24, so close in propagation on 160 meters has poor as a rare skip zone formed much like we see on 80 meters in winter time. Last night the F layer critical frequency (foF2) was as low as 1775 kc. The night before the foF2 dropped as low as 1675 kc and the night before that as low as 1732 kc. You can track the foF2 at http://www.ips.gov.au/Images/HF%20Systems/Asia/Ionospheric%20Map/WorldIMap.gif and http://digisonde.haystack.edu/cgi-bin/latest.exe . 73 GUD DX, Thomas F.

Re: [AMRadio] AM accomodated in IARU Region 1 Bandplan
Thanks, Paul, for digging out the rest of the story. From: VJB [EMAIL PROTECTED] ...Their decision, at their recent meeting in Croatia, was to continue to avoid specifying any enumerated bandwidth for AM transmissions in the layout of licensed hobbyist operating activity they help coordinate on the HF bands. The Region 1 delegates took action in precisely the manner U.S. licensees had wanted their representative group to support during earlier Region 2 band planning deliberations... Interesting, that there is no mention of this in the ARRL Letter news report regarding the revised Region 1 band plan for 40m. The wording of their news item leaves the distinct impression that the Plan recommends for all phone emissions to be limited to 2700 Hz. This could be a simple oversight in reporting, which would demonstrate at the very least the writer's dismissal of the significance of the AM community in amateur radio, or it could have been a deliberate omission, (sour grapes, maybe, or a subtle expression of unstated League policy supporting the Region 2 decision), considering the following: ...But, as many here should know, the ARRL contradicted this expressed sentiment, and proposed specific bandwidth parameters. The numbers became part of the revised Region 2 band plan now in effect. The Region 2 charter calls on government regulatory bodies, including the U.S., to adopt the voluntary protocols the IARU representative clubs develop. A Region 1 official, in explaining that it is a conscious decision NOT to impose numerical bandwidth parameters on AM transmissions, said the wording dates to 2005 at a regional meting in Switzerland, and was reached IN AGREEMENT WITH AM GROUPS. (emphasis mine) By contrast, the club that is supposed to represent all U.S. licensees at the IARU failed to include AM groups in any manner, and, the record shows, deliberately ignored requests to correct the League's misguided approach taken in Brazil that led to the problem created for Region 2...

Re: [AMRadio] AM accomodated in IARU Region 1 Bandplan
Don, I agree that it does not serve the League's agenda for them to acknowledge the affirmation of AM activity in the IARU Region 1 band plan. Pete, Thanks for trying to convince the ARRL to revise its coverage of the Region 1 summary. The response from their press aide indicates she misunderstood your request. You did not ask them to rewrite the IARU's final minutes, did you ? To both of you, is there any value in your asking any ranking represenatives in Region 1 to, in turn, ask the ARRL to more properly acknowledge the important details in the chart the League's press release has published ? I would appreciate your help in pursuing this. Would you both be willing to have your remarks further published in Electric Radio? I have been told by Ray that he intends to publish my report as a letter to the Editor, to those who aren't on this Reflector. It would be nice to include you in the discussion. Please let me know, here or offline.

Let me do this again which includes my final reply to her. She did not reply further. This should answer your question, Paul. I didn't ask for a rewrite of the minutes nor a reprint of all the IARU Region 1 published minutes. In my opinion, if an organization and/or magazine publisher(s), or any news reporting organization publicizes a revised band chart, even though it applies only to IARU Region 1 amateurs, any notes, caveats, or supplemental information which are integral to the full understanding of the chart, should also be included. Pete, wa2cwa -Original Message- From: Peter Markavage [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sun 11/30/2008 2:45 PM To: awextra Subject: IARU Region 1 Meeting News Item Reference news item: http://www.remote.arrl.org/news/stories/2008/11/29/10474/?nc=1 The revised Region 1 band plan chart for 40 meters is shown, which was defined on page 9 of the IARU Region 1's final minutes. However, you omitted the items on page 10 of the same minutes which further clarifies the chart. The items include Sideband Usage, Definitions, and Notes. Without these items, the chart doesn't tell the whole story and will, most likely, lead to confusion and concern.

As such, we provided the link in the first sentence of the article. This enables interested parties, such as yourself, to take a closer look into it. Have a good rest-of-Thanksgiving-weekend! 73, S. Khrystyne Keane, K1SFA ARRL News Editor ARRL - the national association for Amateur Radio 860.594.0237 - And, my final reply to her: Thanks for the reply. I didn't say to reprint the entire plenary minutes, but since you posted the chart of the revised 40 meter band, you should have included the Sideband Usage, Definitions, and Notes that are part of the chart. Without that information, the chart tells a different story, which was my point.

The response from their press aide indicates she misunderstood your request.

Re: [AMRadio] AM accomodated in IARU Region 1 Bandplan
Thanks Pete, of course I totally agree. Being left out is just the risk some of us saw when the ARRL wanted to relegate AM as a footnote or an exception to the League's proposal to segregate by bandwidth. Looking forward to your sharing any response from them now that they've done just that in their press release regarding the IARU's Region 1 plan Paul __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
