To the Moderators, 
 
This is my opinion and mine alone. I think that this thread has outlived it 
usefulness. You have one saying put your money where your mouth is and 
contester need to have busy dect. Then what is good winlids or packeters. 
 
I myself have heard it all before and it hasn't changed. My opinion on certain 
modes and operations will be noted to the FCC when and if they decide to get 
involved.
 
I feel that those that want to continue this take it off the group.
 
Again just my opinion as things are starting to get personnel.

Makes a lot of sense

Let me try it this way - if I'm operating with my mark tone
on a freq between your mark and space you never bother
my QSO. Why is that the every time you hear a tone
close to your operating freq it's QRM.

It seems to a lot that you just like to complain.

Your constant efforts to spread disinformation about ALE use in ham radio shows 
how little you know about how hams are using ALE.

If you are really concerned about lids on HF, start with the #1 primary source

 Ok I hope I have not done any name calling and if so I apologize, it

I my opinion (and this will be my last entry on this subject), 
winlink is being shoved as the all to end all for emergency 
communication, and for those at sea etc. I see it as a QRM generator 
with no control operator. I believe that the saying if you hear them 
you can work them, means a winlink station can hear a qso in progress 
before it transmit if one can hear it. 

I will work within the reg's to have the FCC at least here in the 
states curb in the abuse that is going on with winlink/pactor2or3.

I am not bashing any mode, as I use most of them at one time or 
another, and trying my hand at ALE right now. But I do not go and use 
a freq without listening and asking if the freq is being used before I 
start transmitting. This is not so much as a mode bashing as it is to 
try to get it even across the board. I know here if you purposely 
start transmitting over a on going QSO, and keep on doing it, you will 
get a letter from the FCC stating that, it is a no-no, and they will 
take your license and some money also. Seems though Winlink is exempt 
from the law let alone common courtesy and practice.

Walt I have to agree. While stationed in the military, I did a lot of

remember right you can even order pizza thru your local 2 meter

My main problem with WinLink is that it comes on without knowing if a 
QSO is in progress on the freq and as others have stated, I have heard 
them from 14.110 down to 14.070. How much room do they need?

Walt and others this is the problem. We are required to check to 
make sure the freq is not busy and to not interfer with other 
communications, if we hear them. 

Yet WinLink is automatic and never checks before it starts 
transmitting. So who is at fault the operator in qso on a certain 
freq, or the automatic station that comes on over the qso in 
progress. Simple logic would say that the automatic station is 
wrong, but it seems that FCC/ARRL/IARU if not others, do not care if 
the automatic station comes on over the stations already in qso.

Being this is the digital radio, maybe somewhere down the road a 
programmer will get a program going that will listen before it 
transmits, but I guess I will continue to use the computer between 
my ears to make sure the freq is not busy. Hey it's an old computer 
but still works great.

Having WLINK2000 shoved down our throats is enough, but to even work 
it the equipment is expensive. I don't mind that the freq's listed 
above are the main ones used or even that the ARRL uses theirs for 
code pratice, but and this is a BIG BUT, they should not be 
automatic stations, that someone, somewhere should listen before 
they transmit to see if there are other stations using the freq. 
There will be someone who says that they might not hear the stations 
in QSO's and, that is possible, then again they might, and from what 
I have seen/heard from being in QSO's when these stations come on, 
they have interfered with my contacts. Remember if you can hear 
them, you can work them saying. Well if I can hear the wlink, they 
can hear me.
Seem now that everybody is trying to stake out their special freq's. 
NTS system think they own their special freq's, work all whatever 
nets have their, and the frequency police will let you know if you 
get on their's even if they are not being used. A lot of egos 
involved in this.

CW is like learning a foreign language and not everyone can learn a 
different language, and if you can some are better then others at it. I 
memorized the different dots and dashes for the different letters when 
I learned CW and I know it was not the correct way to do it. As far as 
using CW to show a skill I disagree, because in the 60's in the old 
Novice days of 1yr or upgrade, I had hard enough time listening for my 
call let alone call it a skill, even though I passed the test.

I am tired of hearing all the crying and gashing of teeth about the 
downfall of Amateur Radio because of no more code. The same thing was 
said in the 50's about bringing in the Novice license, or the advent of 
Voice. I think that the requirement should have stayed for Extra Class, 
but the FCC decided that it isn't necessary anymore.
Now it is time to get over it, and move on. CW hasn't gone away, it is 
just not a requirement for HF. There are a lot of great CW group 
FIST/SKCC/NVARC that still promote CW. Show the no-codes that CW can be 
fun, just like the other modes.

As far as other countries and CW the international law stated CW was 
required for operation on 30mhz or below, anything about was left up to 
the country itself. The last WARC they decided that CW was no longer 
need as a requirement and left it up to the individual country to

1000/16 is on 14.110 or so. Then there is,automatic stations use freq's 
that are different then keyboard to keyboard for the same mode, or do 
the originator of the mode and those that use it just jump in and say 
this looks good lets use it.

I have been reading the messages, and just have a couple of comments. 

One is I would like to see a sub-band for the automatic stations, even 
if it is just a gentleman agreement like the current agreements. 

Second is if you operate in the subband you have to take the QRM that 
comes with it, and if it means that a automatic station comes on 
without checking to see if the freq is busy so be it, you know that in 
the subband it might happen. Also just because you can hear the 
automatic station does not mean that it can hear you, so even if does 
check, doesn't mean it won't start transmitting because it might not 
have heard you anyway.

Re: [digitalradio] Police & fire monitoring

2005-11-09 Thread Kurt
Homeland security says we have to use plain language?, now that is a first
to me, as a dispatcher for the last 10yrs for police/fire/rescue, I try to
use plain language but still use some of the 10 codes, and yes they might be
different in one place then another.

[digitalradio] Re: Digital Net ?

2005-11-02 Thread Kurt
Sounds good to me, I would suggest a band that has nice coverage in 
the evening/night hours and what I am thinking is 30 meters would 
probably work.

[digitalradio] Winlink

2005-04-11 Thread Kurt


I might be the bad apple in the group, but I have read enough about 
winlink. Good Bad or Ugly it is here and will probably be here for a 
long time. Does it cause QRM YES, does it have it's place in ham radio 
YES, is it the means to meet all the demands for ARES, Red Cross etc, 
probably not and as technology changes so will it, and in my opinion 
only, most likely the same way packet has.

So since this is about digital modes other then just winlink, can we 
just agree to disagree and move on to some other mode, or new mode 
coming out.

Howard, I have been paying attention to the 
different messages on Winlink, some I agree with some I don't, but I did see you 
mention SCAMP, is this downloadable software?
