Re: [digitalradio] Re: Questions on digital opposition, QRM on PACTOR PMBOS now from DAVE, Congrats
IMNSHO malicious interference, interference that prevents or interrupts a QSO on a frequency from any source is ILLEGAL by the existing rules. The fact that this rule is not being enforced should generate information to the FCC on these interferences and requests to the same agency to clean it up. If I were operating on a frequency and one of these stations climbed on MY frequency (yes, I own it while operating on it legally) a report would go to the FCC the same day with time, frequency, and any identifying information on the interfering station. The squeaky wheel concept. Again in MO, any station operating unattended and generating RF interfering signals should NEVER be allowed on Amateur frequencies. If any persons/organizations wishes to operate in this fashion they should apply for licenses and frequency assignments that allow this type of operation. It certainly is more commercial than hobby. 73 Les At 01:36 PM 12/27/2007, you wrote: +++ more AA6YQ comments below --- In mailto:digitalradio%40yahoogroups.comdigitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Demetre SV1UY [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: QRM from PMBOs and other deaf robots spoils the enjoyment of amateur radio for many operators Demetre.

You caught me, Demetre. I did rent an F-16 last weekend and got all the way to Winlink Planetary Headquarters before realizing that the HARMs Hertz gave me were tuned to 7.105 GHz instead of 7.105 MHz as requested. So I buzzed the tower and flew home to beat the commuter congestion at Hanscom.

Listen to mineIt IDs in CW at the end of an unsucessful connect attempt and at the end of a completed connect... The rules allow for ID via Pactor exchanges in the interim showing the callsigns of both stations.

Re: [digitalradio] Re: Questions on digital opposition, QRM on PACTOR PMBOS now from DAVE, Congrats
Dave, you said earlier that you were running Winlink Classic, not Winlink 2000. That would make your station a BBS instead of a PMBO, wouldn't it? Dave (the other one) was commenting about PMBOs. Maybe the WL2K code is different? 73, Howard K5HB - Original Message From: David Struebel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2007 7:36:45 PM Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Re: Questions on digital opposition, QRM on PACTOR PMBOS now from DAVE, Congrats Listen to mineIt IDs in CW at the end of an unsucessful connect attempt and at the end of a completed connect...

Now if I'm in a KB2KB QSO it will not I will force the SCS modem to do it. But under computer control it will. It's in use right now. and I will let you know what it does. Nice really nice - some lid with a PSK signal is tuning up and down the band to make sure he get's us. P1 ID when the link was dropped. John, W0JAB
