Hi,

I am connected to the chat almost all day.
I see most messages related to 160m. Did even not know it was also 40m. 
Did that recently change?


Think 60% is 160m, 30% 80m, 9% general messages and 1% 40m.

That's what I meant.

For me, adding 40m to the chat simply ruined it. I'd be willing to pay to
have it work like it used to, just 160 and 80.

Mike you can reduce it to just 80 and 160 as I have you don't need to do

all 3 bands see the menu


When the ON4KST chat room combined 160, 80, and 40 into the "Low band

chat", it all of a sudden became WAY too cluttered for me. I was

almost

ready to send a few bucks that way, but then that happened.

All I care about is 160 meters, so I don't even use it anymore.

I keep getting replies like this.

I'm talking about the chat, NOT the cluster spots.

How do we set the *CHAT* to show only 160 and 80 posts?

I don't know how I can make this any clearer. THIS IS *NOT" ABOUT THE SPOTS.

Thanks, but that doesn't fix the 40m clutter in the ON4KST lowband chat.
That's what I meant.

For me, adding 40m to the chat simply ruined it. I'd be willing to pay to
have it work like it used to, just 160 and 80.



40 meters is more like 20 meters than a low band.  From this part of the 
USA, 40 is open to Europe about 20 hours a day and hardly has QRN.


40 should not be rolled in with 80, let alone 160.

Topband: ON4KST low band chat

[Mike Waters]

Hi Mark,

I'm not knocking your advice, but this seems like a good place and time to
"vent". :-)

When the ON4KST chat room combined 160, 80, and 40 into the "Low band
chat", it all of a sudden became WAY too cluttered for me. I was almost
ready to send a few bucks that way, but then that happened.

All I care about is 160 meters, so I don't even use it anymore.

Is there an alternative?
