Whether you like it or not, Danny, 7040-7100 is SSB in most of the world. > I can almost understand it, when Europe had only 7.0-7.1, but > with an expansion to 7.1 to 7.2, Europe and the US should > use 7.080 7.100 or there abouts, for digital operations. In Asia, where I am right now, 7000-7100 is our complete 40m band, and that probably will not change for at least 5 or 6 more years in most countries here. > Of course, as it now stands, the digital signals > are almost as in bad a shape (worldwide) as is SSB with neither > area being able to work in the others. > There is a big difference between the two: With SSB, the reason for disfunction is due to USA's FCC authorized "phone sub-band". With Digital texting/data, the disfunctional "bandplan" is voluntarily self-imposed by operators in USA. It can be easily changed by spinning your VFO. 73 Bonnie BA7/KQ6XA
