I wonder if group members might want to use 1808 KHz as the frequency for 160 meter digital modes. And that means the actual frequency. With the ease of seeing the bandwidth on waterfall displays, I favor centering on the frequency. This means that you need to put your dial frequency at the

Danny, If we don't stay with the bandplans, then we can be sited by the FCC for not following good amateur practice. The ARRL Bandplan is the defacto bandplan for the U.S. That is why I don't venture out of the digital part of 160 meters when using digital text modes. Ideally, CW stations

John, Most of us simply can not possibly know or even care about any particular use of any particular frequency as long as we are properly operating within our subband and mode. The one exception might be the area of automatic operation around the 14.100 beacons and maybe others in the world

Rick I don't care either. I don't use PSK myself. the only reason I bring it up it that the PropNet station broadcast a beacon so many times an hour. I just don't want to see a load of whining and crying when someone gets QRM by one oh the propnet station like they did over the pactor station.

John, Is it your understanding that they are running unattended beacons on 160 meters? Under Part 97 rules here in the U.S., it does not seem that you would be allowed to transmit an unattended beacon on that band. And if you did transmit a beacon, the bandplan calls for 1.999 at the very top

Key word being *unattended* .. I can not speak for the stations on 160 but I do see the reports on the web site. First understanding how this animal works will really help you. I wont go into it here. At 06:27 PM 2/14/2007, you wrote: John, Is it your understanding that they are running
