Re: [Elecraft] Field Day Report

Yes, in the US, 0.1A1 is permitted everywhere and always has been.  One does often hear the term "CW sub-band" in the context of CW only however.  If you study 47CFR97 closely enough, you'll find that it doesn't even mention CW when talking about sub-band allocations, except for 6 and 2.  What

I think most people mean and understand "CW segment" as shorthand for "a segment that allows CW and does not allow phone" -- where you'd typically go to operate CW. On Mon, Jun 27, 2022 at 5:49 PM Jim Rhodes wrote: > Those bands have a CW only band, but otherwise there is no real place that >

Those bands have a CW only band, but otherwise there is no real place that CW is NOT allowed. So CW the CW segements are all the amateur bands. Let's keep it that way. On Mon, Jun 27, 2022, 13:45 Fred Jensen wrote: > In the US: > > 50.000 - 50.100 MHz > 144.000 - !44.100 MHz > > 73, > > Fred

The bands were hopping at our K6SRA campsite in Joseph Grant county park east of San Jose. 20 meters in particular was wall-to-wall. 40 m really took off in the afternoon and never stopped. Most of the time the CW station was my KX2 at 10 W. The SSB station used various other rigs at 100 W.
