The people that could use more bandwidth daily would be the digital SSTV users. Someday we may be able to mix RTTY, data, image and voice like hams outside the U.S.

I see no need for faster, wider signals on a daily basis, and that is where most hams are. I am not going to spend dollars to set up something that just gets "exercised" once a quarter or even once a month to support something that is not going to give ME a return. Again, I will say: It is well and good for hams to volunteer to run emergency communications for government agencies, because they have the training to do so, understand props, and many are retirees who can give the time. The local, state, and federal governments want our help - then they should provide the equipment and the bandwidth for its use- and that bandwidth is out there, assigned to agencies now. Lets see if we can get this digitalradio group back to hamming subjects. If those who are interested wish to do so, please go start up another group. Call it "emergencydigitalcommunications" or whatever, but lets get back to amateur basics here, and quit bothering the rest who couldnt give a tinkers dam about 16 kc wide, multi mega baudot commercial equipment "just in case" the government wants someone to use it, someday.
