Faster rates means wider transmission bandwidths, which means less room for others on our HF bands. 73 de Bill, KG5FQX On Fri, Oct 6, 2017 at 10:56 AM, Jeff Greer via BVARC wrote: > Noob question (I'm a new ham): > > > Why do we not like the faster rates? From the outside

Noob question (I'm a new ham): Why do we not like the faster rates? From the outside looking in, it seems like more lax rules would benefit us. What am I missing? Jeff, W5JEF From: BVARC on behalf of Paul Noll via BVARC

Furthermore, this was extensively addressed when ARRL proposed it less than a year ago. Even hard core narrow bandwidth people don’t want to stifle technology, so the counter proposal was to give wideband part of the SSB sections or equal amounts from upper CW/Data and SSB. Of course ARRL, the

Oh boy, noobs in a minefield. The reality is that Amateur Radio has become largely an idle pursuit of comfortable geriatric men. I take no joy in noting that, I’m only acknowledging the situation. At 61, I’m no spring chicken myself. One thing about the geriatric that’s notable is our almost

I apologize for the delay and short notice I know many of you are still working on recovering from Hurricane Harvey. I will try and keep the meetings short to just get everyone back to their cleanup. We have to do some basic housekeeping for club business and Hamfest preparation.

There is no reason for concern now. FCC says temporary and I see no reason to think otherwise. If there is a problem after 60 days, let's deal with it then. Why worry over nothing now ?? Too many other things going on to worry about without adding more for no current reason. My 2 1/2 cents
