Posted by: "Greg" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 18, 2007 11:47 pm (PST) Apparently Bonnie is ignoring me because I keep asking how can you call winlink a 24/7 system when you need a live operator to generate the email and a live operator on the other end to read it. Lot of good that email does going to that automatic system only to sit there because no one, according to Bonnie's message below, is around to get it.
Greg KC7GNM ========== Others are being ignored because the questions are too hard to answer. Back to the topic: I have read nothing that justifies why these wide band modes need to overtake the allocation of other modes. It appears to be a group that belongs to a sub-sub section of the population that believes they should have more of the pie over 99% of the whole. The emergency line of discussion is mute. All modes are needed during an emergency. But, there in no signal that is more important than the call for help in what ever form it need be. The op center reports and HQ updates should never interrupt or negate that priority. If you want the respect of other hams world wide, improve the robots. Make them more efficient in use of band width. Make them reactive to other signals on the frequencies. Make them better so they do not create QRM to other modes or themselves. Don't complain about your neighbors house when your own house needs fixing. As I often say to people who have problems, "It is not the machine, tool, device, or technology that is good or bad, it is how you use it." Since my last three posts never got thru the email reflector, and I am not sure that this one will, I am done on this topic. I don't know if I have ticked off the moderators (no, Andy...) or the internet gods, but I am out of this discussion. I will delete this topic without reading from this point forward. 73 es God Bless, Dan, KA3CTQ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
