Yeh, and let's not forget the "air heads" who also think that CW was what they continually describe as a "LID filter." I've been licensed 50-Plus years and I can assure you the CW requirement did nothing to keep out the current flock of resident sociopaths and tree climbers that can be found here

I don't remember the FCC ever before issuing a news release about a report and order without releasing the Report and Order along with it. Maybe the administrative help took off early for a Christmas party or something. I suspect we'll see the Report and Order on Monday, with rule changes to be p

I thought the convention was 30 days to effectivity after the announcement? Although the "press release" is not the conventional methodology the FCC usually uses to announce a R&O. Unless I am daft (which may well be), isn't it ironic that the code requirement will be dropped for Techs who will

[digitalradio] Logging digital voice QSOs

2006-12-16 Thread Dave
Just getting started in digital voice and had my first "real" QSO in that mode today. Before I start logging these, or start modifying my modes table in DXKeeper, I'd like to find out if there is any type of "standard" for the mode entry in an ADIF log. Is there a digital voice mode accepted by ADI

yes, along with "Roger, Roger". It has been "Ten Four, Good Buddy" on the part of 13WPM and 20WPM Hams on 75M for 40 years. So much for CW as a LID filter. Sigh.
