Well - here we are once again talking about the digital thread. It's my job to help moderate the discussion. This will be my last attempt to do so without having to go into forced moderation mode.
I think that it is safe to say that digital modes are something some people like and some people don't. Many of us are on 160 meters because we like the challenges this band presents us. For some - digital modes is one way to deal with those challenges - but for others, the magic of radio happens between the headphone and hearing a signal is what it is all about. These two opposing positions likely are not going to be changed by any discussion on this list. It's almost a religious issue . So - except for any constructive ideas about coming up with a better management plan for how to share the band - I think this discussion has run its course. The SM2CEW website has been up for years - so there really isn't anything new there. Go read it and make up your own mind. Then, operate in a way that makes this fun for you. 73 Tree N6TR _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
