You further reinforce my position; the amateur radio service is not going
to support long haul emcomm infrastructure.
It doesn't matter what color you paint it.
If the amout of wasted envy spent on lamenting P3 was devoted to
promoting the Amateur Radio Service; then it may have a chance of surviving a
few more decades.
The others who take a serious look at your stance, and the credibility
the ARS stands to lose have a good idea about who is destroying the villiage.
Of course I have heard the same complaints about WINMOR; I live on planet
Earth.
>>>I have not seen a single complaint about WinMor on this reflector, or
anywhere else on the internet. If you have, please post a couple of URLs.
By the same token, if we had to resort to smoke signals, the same group
would be protesting unattended operation of fire.
To me, the discussion is a passing amusement.
I don't anticipate the need to generally waste time or effort trying to
use Amateur Radio Service spectrum for any useful long haul communications in
an emergency; except voice when I may need a larger audience in an affected
area.
The SATERN nets in the first week of the Haiti response brought out the
jammers. They had the same hatred for sustained net operations as the anti P3
crowd have for effective emcomm infrastructure. The end result is the same;
ineffective interference...
Long Haul Emcomm has migrated to NTIA spectrum. I am reaping a great
crop of effective communications there. How well did your crop come in??
>>>Quite well, thanks: some new ones on 160m and 80m, 3500+ QSOs in 2
weeks as 8P9RY, some great digital-mode rag chews, a post here from Rick KN6KB
saying that he'd consider backfitting the WinMor busy frequency detector into
WinLink PMBOs, and lots of fun adding SDR Console support to DXLab.
