I would certainly support that. Especially if we are given digital mode
capability on one or more channels. I would assume that means that more

Bruce,
No, the bandwidth is 200 kHz, not 6 kHz.
And yes, only one station in 6-land is licensed at this time. KD6OZH will
do
one-way transmissions using his cell phone to RC the OFDM transmitter while
he drives around the county recroding the transmissions.

Bruce,
The segment 50.5 - 51 is too small. Remember we need something 200 kHz wide
to achieve the data rate objective for the test per Shannon's Rule. To get
to 240 kbps with OFDM modulation we need 200 kHz of bandwidth.
Again, it is just a TEST and with a temporary EXPERIMENTAL ticket. This
and a band width of 6 khz? since the ARRL says only
one station in 6 land was licensed ..

Bruce,
Who did you say SMIRK was again? Just kidding!
Yes, we are using an established 6M calling frequency for a TEST. Don't you
do that sometimes too? Besides, it's the only portion of the band that is
classified as "ALL MODE". Nobody uses Ancient Modulation (AM) anymore
anyway, right? (
Jim,
Read more carefully PLEASE!
What I wrote is that our charter wouldn't allow us to investigate the issue
further.
The 10 kHz would be enough to accomplish the task, but TOO SLOW for our

It has been my experience that when ALC action is allowed for PSK31,
the IMD reading will get significantly worse. Another danger that was

audio amplifiers in front of
First, it ignores all the empirical evidence to the contrary. This
alone would make the statement suspect.
Second, it ignores the different methods and implementations of ALC in
different transmitters.
One of the first effects of ALC is the imposition of an amplitude
modulation on the RF envelop
No- that how DX gets confused. It works confusedly. If you are a DX
station, you need to control what the others are doing. Saying UP is not
the way to do it. Saying UP 3 TO 10 is. Or better yet: UP 3, DOWN 2,
DOWN 3, UP 1, etc. That keeps the whole gang of callers from being on one
