Who would "coordinate" the use? What if the ARRL coordinated with other countries amateur radio organizations in Region II and had a region bandplan that said where each mode should operate?
Would the next thing be "channelization" such as we have on 60M? Perhaps we should "give" coordination for 5 KHz for each mode of operation? At last count I found 23 different digital modes. That's 115 KHz and includes CW and RTTY. How "official" are the ALE and WinLink groups? Do they have a charter and official members? What constitutes an "official" amateur radio group to be recognized by the IARU? Part of the solution is to have software be able to identify the various modes as you tune across them. Perhaps using a method such as Fldigi does with many of the modes. Or perhaps have the software scan each signal to determine the mode. I'm afraid that there is no simple solution to the problem of who is working what mode where. But each operator must be diligent to try as best possoble not to QRM another signal on the portion of the band that they are "working." 73, Walt/K5YFW -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of w7psk Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2007 7:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [digitalradio] Re: 3580kHz-3600kHz Freq Coordination Info --- In [email protected], "expeditionradio" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], Rick Scott <w7psk@> wrote: > > > > The only Coodination I see is WINLINK trying to grab > > all the available Frequencies > > Hi Scott, > > There is no grab happening.

ARRL and Winlink. Have you thought about all the PSK31 PSK63, Olivia and all the other Modes on there. I see winlink gave the ARRL 2 frequencies while your trying a Power grab for the rest. No I dont see Coordination or Cooperation, Ive seen no announcement for a conference. I see Winlink and ARRL Grabbing whats available without coordination at all and telling the rest of us to STFU. Well I for one will operate in the band area I can and if a winlink station autos on top of me the FCC will be notified.
