Maybe theoretically, but if you don't do this on a regular basis, doing it first at the beginning of an emergency is just not a good time. I would like to see this available for those of us who think it would be VERY helpful. A good example is when someone asks for help with "xyz" mode. If you could get on voice and talk him through it, like they do with SSTV/FAX operation, we would really add a lot to improving our digital experience.
I still think that if you are sending text in digitized form, such as a PDF, .doc file, maybe even a word processed "text" file, it should be treated as a FAX and should be allowed on voice frequencies. Should I ask the FCC for clarification on this? Has anyone else ever done this or know of anyone who has and was told no? 73, Rick, KV9U Andrew O'Brien wrote: >> -Go for the changes and then lobby our Division Directors to get the >> ARRL to accept some mixed mode/content areas, especially for emergency >> use which is my main interest area. >> >> 73, >> >> Rick, KV9U >> >> > > Rick, can't we already do that "in an emergency" ? > > Andy K3UK > >
