I would expect that we will be able to get some help from ARRL HQ on this since they could publish a list of modes along with their classifications. That would help a great deal. Don't know if you saw it or not, but the ARRL updated the article on their web site today specifically on this

Joe, I think your interpretation is correct, but there is much misinformation about this, mainly from http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2006/11/15/100/?nc=1 . 73, Mark N5RFX My interpretation, which is as good as any at this point, is that telegraphy is plain text to be read and interpreted

Andy, Yes, the new rules will not allow any modes to be used in the MF and HF CW/Data/RTTY portions of the bands unless they are 500 Hz or less in bandwidth. Many of the modes can greatly exceed 500 Hz, such as the wider submodes of the modes you noted. Other modes that will no longer be

In my opinion, this is absolutely WRONG. I have said this here before, it all comes down to what is considered data. The new restrictions only cover content type D, which is Data, telemetry or telecommand. It does *NOT* include type B, which is telegraphy for automatic reception. It is already

Joe, that was my interpretation when I read it a few weeks ago. I think I will just continue to operate politely with Olivia 1000 Hz and wait until the FCC tells me I cannot do it. Then we would have a good test case - Original Message - From: Joe Veldhuis [EMAIL PROTECTED] In my
