Note! That is a US only chart. This is a world wide email list... However, similar charts/tables are likely to be found from other national societies or regulating government offices in other countries etc. Also, in your licence or permit documents I suspect! But the same holds true. In a short time, we all learn where we can play, and where not to. As to disabled op's, contest mode reminders etc:- It's not imposible these days with Arduino's, Atmels, PIC's and other digital playthings, to put something simple together, that will take the data stream from the radio (or poll it) to determine what operating frequency is in force, and make noises, flash lights, vibrate chairs or make dogs bark etc, as needed. That can be done with just about any modern rig, not just Elecraft products. Read the manuals, hook up a PC with a dumb terminal emulator, and play. You'll find it easier than you imagine! If you want to get "Realy" smart.. You need to take into account not just the VFO frequency, but also the mode and TX bandwidth settings. Especially on 60m!... Then, it can get a little more, but not too complicated. ;) The tools exist, the hobby allows us to experiment and learn, so let's do so. 73.
