Should the writtens be eliminated too, since they're not a perfect "riff-raff filter" either? And note this: What mode are those folks using on 75 meters? It sure isn't Morse Code? Tune down to the low ends of the bands and see if you can find the same behaviors from hams using Morse Code. Read the FCC enforcement letters (ARRL website is one source) and see what mode most of the alleged violators use. It's not Morse Code, and the disparity is not explained by the relative popularity of the modes. 73 de Jim, N2EY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
