[digitalradio] ALE: Increased QRV/ Activity log for this evening
Folks, Due to some significant enhancements in PC-ALE, new features in Multipsk, and major experiments with ALE email and SMS forwarding, you will note a significant increase in ALE on the amateur bands. Here is my log from the past few hours.

Re: [digitalradio] Re: ALE: Increased QRV/ Activity log for this evening
Hi Jon. I've been using PC-ALE today BUT I often use Multipsk. You can turn on a time stamp in MUltipsk by going to OPTIONS and then choosing time display for each frame. You MUST have a licensed version of Multipsk for this option. Andy K3Uk On 8/3/07, Jon Maguire [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Andrew, yes it was busy today!!

[digitalradio] RAC Draft HF Band Plan (July 8, 2007)
RAC Draft HF Band Plan (July 8, 2007) The RAC HF Band Planning Committee has prepared a draft document covering the bands 160m to 10m. This plan has been fashioned using the IARU Regional plans as a model wherever possible. The previous RAC HF Band Plan had not been revised for some time. The recent changes in band allocations by the United States Federal Communications Commission and changes in IARU Region 1 allocations have necessitated changes in the Canadian plan. This draft document is being made available to the Amateur Radio operators of Canada and also to the members of the IARU Region 2 HF Band Planning Committee. No plan can remain static as International regulations and technology advances. At this time the IARU Region 2 HF BP Committee is also revising their plan. Since Canada is in region 2, our plan must be congruent with the overall plan for North and South America. This Canadian plan uses some of the information from an early Region 2 draft but will have to be updated when the final version of the Region 2 plan is released. It is also hoped that some of the ideas generated by the Canadian committee might be useful to the Region 2 committee. On 80 metres, the use of phone below 3.600 MHz, as it is being contemplated in Region 2, is included provisionally in the Canadian plan despite strong reservations by the Committee that it conflicts with expected growth in usage of digital modes. The Committee has submitted a position paper asking for possible Region 2 reconsideration of this move. It is anticipated that major revisions to the 40m plan may be necessary when Short Wave Broadcasting is eliminated worldwide from the band 7.100 to 7.200 MHz. There are some unique features of the Canadian plan that need special attention. On 40 metres a phone DX window has been specified, something that the committee researched and has included as a first. On 80 metres, in consideration of the major expansion of phone frequencies, special attention has been given to the phone DX window, expanding it to 3.775 to 3.800 MHz from two hours before dusk until two hours after dawn, local time. As well as specifying Emergency frequencies and DX windows, activity centres for IOTA operations, QRP Operation, AM phone and others, the plan includes very narrow band digital frequency bands within existing digital assignments. Your comments and suggestions are valuable in helping the HF Band Planning Committee to make this document a useful tool for Canadian operators.

[digitalradio] AQC ALE ?
I think previous postings here indicated that AQC ALE is unlikely to filter down to amateur transceivers. Does anyone know what the AQC Enable feature within PC-ALE does ? Andy K3UK
