Tell ya what guys. Go ahead and operate voice at 14.050 or 7.100. and see
if it is the ARRL or the FCC that sends you a letter, or even shows up on
your door step. Maybe rather than that, you might want to ask the W5YI
group for a copy of the freqs. They certainly dont have anything to do with
ARRL. They were the NO Code leaders and earned my everlasting disgust.
ARRL is simply the "voice" of amateur radio in the US, whether you want them
to be or not, and I certainly dont always agree with their decisions.
ARRL conveys the rules and regs, and quite often tries to get them changed,
but they do not MAKE them. I happen to have a list of bands/modes here on
the wall - printed by ALINCO. Its the same list on the table - printed by
ICOM, and esentially the same as the newest list from the ARRL web page (
with that one updated due to the new FCC regulations effective a couple of
weeks ago). They all agree, except for those new changes. They, and their
predecessors are what I have been following for over 40 years, and I havent
gotten any kind of warning from the FCC in all that time. Others have
ignored them, and some of those are now off the air - by FCC decree.
Just worked TC0DX on the original digital mode, so gonna go look for more.
