Hi Rick,
I've discovered last week that we cannot in Canada transmit wider than 1
kHz on 30m. It's a shame. This band is often in those poor conditions months
the only one opened to mid distant stations and as an HFN pilot station
operator, that's a real problem for me and the stations that want to link to
my station because sometimes it's the only they can link and in this band
only due to conditions. So after sounding for 2 full months on 30m, i only
scan it now.

John,
About the last person on earth that I would criticize for not operating
would be Dave. I have no idea how he can do what he does with the
creation and support for his DXLab suite of software which includes
digital software as well. It is simply amazing.
But even if any ham rarely operated on any modes, but mostly monitored,
they would know quite well what is going on.
Proper operation is very important to some of us. And the rules that
hold true in one country, may not hold true in other countries. In fact,
a group such as this one can help us understand that. It was only in the
last few days that many of us even knew that some hams cannot use wide
bandwidth modes on 30 meters that we can use here in the U.S. and you
probably can in Canada.

I guess I am getting a little tired of these arguments about operating
correctly. We all know the rules and most
of us try to follow them. Sure, we screw up once in a while but so
what? We learn for the next time.
What bothers me more is that the folks who make the most noise and
offer the most criticism of the modes
Are not those who are using them. As an example, Dave, AA6YQ, has
written numerous emails on digital radio
Subjects, and yet I, for one have yet to work him in any digital mode,
and I have been very active for the past
number of years. I have meticulously checked all my logs, and
surprise! No Dave.
Everyone else is there, in fact many times over: Roger, Bonnie, Andy,
Rick ,Jose, Txema and the list goes on,
With many that I have missed mentioning who are active in this group.
Just guessing, I would think that most folks have not come across Dave
in their logs.
Now that is not saying that Dave doesn’t have valid arguments- some of
them are. I respectfully suggest, though
That you get on these modes, get active and “walk a mile in our
moccasins” to fully understand the nature of these modes.
Ok Dave I’ll lend you the soapbox
