TY7C should not have even been using DXPedition Mode.
Hi Jim,
why not?
I totally agree with Bill.
Why this huge complain?
Look at what Joe and his team has done! Really something new that we
never have seen before.
Maybe that is why there are always those ones that are against
everything new.
DXpedition mode is not yet ready, and never will be if it is tested only
in laboratory. That includes also tests by real DX teams like TY7C
group. Not just those organized debugging events that are the base for
properly working versions.
True DX teams need also experiences of usage, even with just buggy
rc-versions of program. What do you think would happen if DX group just
get 100% working program with them to DX pedition, but nobody have ever
seen, tried or even heard about the usage?
If we look to traditional DXpeditions using CW or phone they easily roll
over "normal usage" frequencies. With Split CW from 1.5kHz to 10kHz and
with split phone from 5kHz to 25kHz. That is 10 FT8 "bands".
And so little complains !
We need more space for new digital modes. That is never going to happen
if we just make plans. It will be endless chain of meetings without
results if there is not urgent need to do something.
And that need comes when new modes are used in somewhere. It is sure
they always take part from some other mode as there are no empty gaps
reserved for future modes within our bands.
I have funny feeling that I remember time when PSK was invented and
caused lot of anger because it was used on conventional rtty frequencies.
Sounds like history is repeating itself...
