That's all? That's the problem! When i asked José Nieto about it, he said that the increasing number of ROS users was the cause for the three calling frequencies. But it actually is the lack of discipline and patience among ROS users that created the problem. So increasing the number of calling frequencies has only increased the amount of QRM on the 20m band, and is counterproductive to an increase of discipline and patience among ROS users. Though that is what is needed: more patience among ROS users and more discipline in acting according to their HAM radio lisence. As far as I know one is not permitted as a radio amateur to disturb other stations by calling CQ without listening, and asking if the frequency is free.
