Re: [digitalradio] Re: 6 meters digital
440 is valuable band because of the propogation. I agree it's time to do something new with 6, but I don't think there's much of a move to steal that one back! On the other hand, who knows, if we continue to not use our alloted space there are indeed a lot better uses for it, I don't think anyone will disagree with that logic!

In California and most of the western part of North America, 6 meters is 4MHz of Wasteland. 99% of the time, it is largely a vacant band of valuable VHF spectrum. In San Francisco Bay Area of California, the 440MHz band is now in the process of being taken away from hams. I predict that 6 meters will be taken away as well, if we don't do something useful with it. Bonnie KQ6XA
Re: [digitalradio] Tearing Down USA's Data Wall (300 symbols/second)
From my time in Ham Radio: - Going from Class A to a structured licensing was the end of Ham Radio. - Giving Novices 10m voice was the end of Ham Radio. - Giving Novices 220 was the end of Ham Radio. - Dropping CW from structured classes to 5WPM was the end of Ham Radio. - Dropping CW was the end of Ham Radio. No opinions, no flames, no political agenda, just a review of history. I am sure there are plenty of other examples along these lines.

Re: [digitalradio] Re: CQ CH?
Here Here! Even back in the day when I ran RTTY on a HW-101 (really) people on digital modes were more polite, less antagonistic, and in my humble opinion, had better operating practices. CW came second, and phone a LONG third. Want to reinforce this? Listen to the loonies on 75 Phone, 14.275, etc. The TRY to find someone on any rant on a digital mode. I doubt you could find one, much less one who sits there complaining how the government is not giving him enough of a handout! Sorry to go off, but I firmly believe that the digital hams are much, much nicer on an overall basis and I would prefer to QSO with them than many of the fone hams I have heard and worked.
