Re: [digitalradio] New 200kHz Wideband Digital Voice on 20 meters in USA?

"Mere opinions, no matter how informed or ignorant, are not going to
stop these changes."

So Bonnie using the logic of the above comment, then those that are opposed 
being informed or not, should not make their wishes known, and just roll over 
ignore what they think is wrong because it is going to happen anyway. Using 
that kind of thinking, why get out of bed, because sooner or later you are 
going to die, and there is no question about that, as everyone days have been 
numbered since the day you were born.

I might not be an expert on digital, but I do have some training in it, and I 
am not ignorant in any way or form, but my opinion does count, even if to say 
that I want a valid reason for certain modes to have exclusive right or not. 

I am not opposed to going digital, but I am opposed to certain modes running 
ruffshod over the rest, be it Oliva,JT25A,PactorIII, and having certain things 
shoved down our throats to appease the few. The ARRL if it is suppose to 
represent All hams of the US, then they should look for a concensus from ALL 
the hams on what they want not just a few from within their membership, of 
which I am a member.

3)THEY are supose to do the will of the members 

4)THEY don't seem intrested in doing THAT.

5) THEY should be asking for the members not the

Well I guess I will fight not to have encryption on ham radio but wait isn't 
that what SCS/Winlink folks already have. Adapt or give in, mmmhh, I guess I 
will not do neither but to continue to fight the commericalization of ham

  So if encryption is allowed/use on Ham Radio who is going to control the 
  crpyto gear, and who is going to set the daily keys? Who says station K1XXX 
  can have a setup up but K1XXZ can't, even though both are working encomm's. 
  So of the reasons you give might be valid, but it is would be opening up 
  another can of worms, just like the deal with the Red Cross is with their 
  background checks.
  I say HR does not need encryption, and no it would not provide seamless 
  capability.

  Hi Bill,

  Hams should certainly have the capability to pass over-the-air
  encrypted traffic or scrambled speech for emergencies and disaster
  relief. There are other situations where it would be useful, too. In
  order to have seamless capability in an emergency, hams should be
  familiar and proficient with the use of it on a regular basis.

  Encryption should not be with the sole intent to obscure the content
  from other hams, but it should be availble to hams when there is a
  need to shield sensitive data and information from evil-doers.

  Here are a few reasons for hams to use limited encryption in the
  over-the-air communication:

  1. To shield private data
  2. To shield private telephone numbers
  3. To shield sensitive email addresses
  4. To shield system passwords
  5. To shield station remote control
  6. To secure access to stations
  7. To control satellites
  8. To shield messages sent by a 3rd party to ham
  9. To protect medical information
  10. To protect 3rd party traffic requiring confidentiality
  11. To control repeaters
  12. To shield identities of children

  I'm sure there are more reasons... but that's some of the things I
  thought of in the few minutes it took to write this.

Ah so it's now time to pick on us stateside operators. Maybe if those in the 
rest of the world who are having the same problem would speak up(wait John I 
think I remember seeing you complain some), then this problem could worked out

Jose it might sound absurd, but then again man flying to the moon, satellite 
communications and cellphones, they all at one time were called absurded, but 
they are real now. Don't know in Cuba but here, almost everyone has a cellphone.

Also just because a section of freq's are set aside for automatic operation 
doesn't mean that they can't be used, by stations other then automatic ones.

Yes it might not be possible now, but then again if someone does not complain 
or try, we will never know if it is possible.

Re: [digitalradio] Operating Methods on ALE Channels

2007-02-24 Thread wa8vbx




   

  Good ALE ham operation requires a level of operator responsibility,
  and cooperation above what is needed for some other "modes".  



  Bonnie does this mean that ALE operators are better then those that do not 
operate ALE. A very smug and dumb remark in my opinion. I do not operate ALE 
but I do operate other digital modes, along with SSB and CW so how is ALE 
operator more responsible then the rest of us.
