I have an idea, it may be far fetched, but I think a good one none the less. As a group we can create a document, in short explaining the issues that are & hand , that the technical people will see and understand & the non-technical end users ( not saying all end-users are non-technical ) will also understand, our best idea for resolution and present this document with 'signatures' , to the major 'digita'l reflectors, groups, creators and experimenters, outlining the benefits for both groups interested. For kicks, I looked up the ARRL's 'band plan' http://www.arrl.org/band-plan and their document says 1800-1810 ( digital ) & 1995-2000 (beacons), I personally believe that the WSPR stuff for prop reports should go there ( some is not as we all know ) because its not 2-way com stuff to the best of my knowledge, their just low power prop beacons.
Yes I do understand that the ways of the ARRL are not always great.. however I can see benefits for us all on a move of the digital stuff, just as many that are following this thread can see aswell. This may have been done before & possibly no traction came of it, I'm not sure, however if this is a problem that is affecting masses, it should be addressed, in kind to the masses, until resolved. Just a thought...comments & suggestions? -Steve Raas N2JDQ _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
