There's virtually NO new-mode experimentation going on anywhere in any
ham bands. We have high bands where all sorts of "multimedia" wideband
ops are already quite legal. But all we hear is the talk, the walk
simply isn't happening. Why would it be any different on the HF
bands??

Usually this mantra pops up by some of the no code faction who
has tried to promote the idea that "experimenters" in new mode
technologies would somehow come out of the woodwork IF there was
no code test to keep them off of 20M phone.

Go figure!

The problem with "new modes" has nothing to do with the regs,
allowable bandwidths or any of the rest of the usual micro-managed
"grand plans". It's a MARKETING problem, pure and simple.

You go dude!

So...where ya been...?!?!
