Just get on 40 meters and consider it a challenge to communicate over the broadcasting stations. You have as mush right to be there as them. Start up talking to you neighbor running as much as you can to a low angle radiator. Be sure your not zero beat. Don't think for a minute that the heterodyne you cause won't be heard over seas. That should start an inquiry. Then again, they would probably just take 40 meters away from us.

Yet I have to be honest and say I agree with you on 80M. Other than during a contest, we can give up some space to phone operation. I'd say to be fair a starting point would be 3700. Maybe 3650. However I disagree on 40M and 20M, especially 40M. Almost every night that little sliver of usable band is filled with CW signals. If you are not an Extra, as a CW op your version of 40M is 7026 - 7046 most night. 20kc. Not a heck of lot of room ro stretch out at all. I'd love to be able to get that @*&[EMAIL PROTECTED] broadcast out of 40M. Holy moly if we had that whole band unmolested it would be a GREAT place to play. Just my feelings as a CW op. 73, Mark W1EOF > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Wilhite [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 10:21 PM > To: Discussion of AM Radio > Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Web page appears in opposition to RM-11306 <SNIP> > hope, but the > fact remains, more space is needed for phone operation and the > lower half of > 80, 40,and 20 are under utilized. > > 73 Jim > W5JO <SNIP> -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
