RE: [digitalradio] ALE and "protected frequencies" in the USA
think someone has had a couple too many ALEs, or "wobblys" as they are known as in cow country. ALE activity has all but disappeared on 14109, except for a few diehards . paranoia strikes again John VE5MU From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:digitalra...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Andy obrien Sent: Tuesday, February 09, 2010 5:58 PM To: digitalradio Subject: [digitalradio] ALE and "protected frequencies" in the USA I have received three emails in the past 3-4 weeks suggesting that the FCC has an application to "protect" certain HF frequencies and reserve for exclusive ALE use. Two emails also suggest that people operating on ALE frequencies have received emails asking them to NOT use the frequencies . Is this just "junk" information ? Has anyone else heard from people objecting to others using frequencies commonly used by ALE operators. ? Can anyone verify that the FCC is considering an application to exclude non-ALE stations from certain frequencies ? Andy K3UK

Re: [digitalradio] ALE and "protected frequencies" in the USA
From the regulations: Sec. 97.101 General standards. (a) In all respects not specifically covered by FCC Rules each amateur station must be operated in accordance with good engineering and good amateur practice. (b) Each station licensee and each control operator must cooperate in selecting transmitting channels and in making the most effective use of the amateur service frequencies. _No frequency will be assigned for the exclusive use of any station._ 73 - Skip KH6TY phil williams wrote: I have head in the past of folks of 'reminded' using the ALE frequencies for other modes is frowned upon.

This seems to be a festering wound in need of a doctor.
