Hi Takehiko, I've read your notes and I don't understand well what this Frequency Management Center is. Is it some sort of online server to exchange the information about what frequencies people are using? I think that would belong more to an online chat server or some other service where people can set up skeds rather than WSJT-X. I think that it's important that QSOs with WSJT-X can be done without exchanging any data through the internet, so people can choose if they want to coordinate QSOs with the help of the internet or not. A better solution to the problem you mention about incompatible band plans is to listen simultaneously on different frequencies so that split random QSOs can happen without the need for external coordination about the frequencies. This can be done with adequate hardware (SDR). In the HF bands it is easy to accomplish this. I understand that this problem also happens in 13cm EME, where different countries have really different allocations. Here it is more difficult to listen on all the possible frequencies (the separation is several MHz), so people coordinate frequencies using HB9Q chat or other sked online services. It would be nice to allow for the possibility of indicating in the CQ call which other frequencies you're listening to. The problem is that this is potentially too much data to include in the short messages that the JT modes use. The only similar feature is the "CQ nnn" feature, where you can indicate another frequency where you're listening and where people are supposed to call you. Finally, I think it's important to try to harmonize working frequencies on a global basis. This simplifies things a great deal. Sometimes it is not possible to achieve a completely global solution due to different band plans, but imagine the mess if every country used a different working frequency. 73, Dani. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
