Bill,
Thank you for compiling such a precise list concerning default working
frequency suggestions. I am indeed impressed by you professional manner.
Here is my comments presented in your list.
1. 80m:
Thank you for including my proposal. JARL has spent a few years to have
international harmonized spectrum allocation on 80m and they finally
opened 3.570-3.575MHz segment for us last year. Therefore, I am very
much appreciated if you will move all frequencies moved down 6kHz. I
agree with you that firmware device such as "WSPRLite" may need longer
transition period or delay the closing date of the current working
frequency for WSPR. But this is deployment plan of each code and can be
separately or individually discussed.
2. 160m:
As you described, it is difficult to "cover IARU region 3" even for me
as I, individually, can not be a member of the organization. Thus,
neither I do know their latest bandplan for narrow band data service on
160m. However, It is true that JARL band plan allocates 1907.5-1912.5MHz
today but everybody know it lacks the international harmonization.
Therefore, I personally believe it is enough the rest of the world knows
that JA will operate at 1907.5-1912.5MHz until JARL will obtain
1836-1846MHz chunk for radio amateur data service in future.
3. 2m:
I do not know IARU Region 3 allocation on 2m for MSK144. But I do not
think there would be high demand for MSK144 service on 2m by the reason
that 6m, which is better spectrum for MSK144, is available from JA
perspective.
Finally, it is a great idea to allocate "JT9 on same frequency as JT65"
on 2200m and 630m. I really wish you to expand this idea up to 6m band
as it is a first step to obsolete JT65 and replace to JT9 today and FT8
later. It is the time to deploy this transition to encourage newly
developed frequency spectrum efficient code usage by the recent rapid
increase of the traffic. I do not think we will see the side effects
sharing the spectrum between JT65 and JT9. Am I right?
Regards,
take
