Hi! Inspite of the global characteristics of this Group, wich I proudly subscribe, most of the messages are writtten by US citizens, regarding US rules and US practices and US bandplan (Region 2).
However most of the writers forget that there are two other IARU Regions and National Bandplans. You must not reduce everything to your Country's point of view on the matter of rules and regulations. The main subject of this thread wich was " RTTY Hall of Shame" means nothing to me, and in a way is the opposite of the needed thing to do.
