This means no AM in 7125 to 7130 for USA, she probably does not even know what bandwidth means!! of course we have a lot of ssb that thinks lower sidband 1/2 kc above the band edge is fine. next we need freq. guidelines for nets, and how about contests, like the one just finished. if they really wanted to do something make it all modes anywhere within the band, the ops will sort it out and operate where they like. I just remembered they also have " guidelines for qrp freq". don't they? Bernie
