There's nothing in my post that would prevent a ham at sea from using *any* mode of ham radio to get a message back home. My specific objection is to protocols like WinLink that transmit without listening, and therefore QRM existing QSOs. Other than during emergencies, no ham has the right to to QRM an ongoing QSO -- whether they be at sea, in the air, or climbing Olympus Mons. Any amateur who respects his or her peers should avoid WinLink like the plague -- except during emergencies. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, John Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Nice try Dave but I'm not buying that. > Again playing Devil's Advocate here. > Why should a ham at sea be forced to not use *any* > mode of ham radio to get a message back home? > > At 08:16 PM 3/8/2007, you wrote: > >Because we forget that WinLink PMBOs have permanent ownership of > >whatever frequencies they choose.

Nice try Dave but I'm not buying that. Again playing Devil's Advocate here. Why should a ham at sea be forced to not use *any* mode of ham radio to get a message back home?

Because we forget that WinLink PMBOs have permanent ownership of whatever frequencies they choose. Fortunately we now have the world wide web where such permanent allocations can be published, leaving no excuse for the ignorant keyboard-to-keyboard operator to unwittingly wander onto one of those 5-lane interstates owned by WinLink. At the rate they're paving over what's left of the 80m data band, the rules will be very easy to remember: no keyboard-to- keyboard operation on 80m. 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, John Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ok playing Devil's Advocate here. > why in the world would the PSK pick 070 any knowing that > has was used for years and years for the auto pactor station > It's like play tag in a 5 lane interstate. > > This one I'll never understand. > > > At 07:49 PM 3/8/2007, you wrote: > >The above is the best example of turning the facts on their head, 180 > >degrees around, that I have heard in some time.
