By the way, there's no indication of "SSB subbands" in the real
official regulations from the government. "Phone" is phone, meaning
the same as voice.
Ooooops.
Another example of no practical experience in Amateur Radio.
The FCC has VERY clearly stated that "gentleman's agreements" and
compliance with them IS "good Amateur practice". Persons who have violated
these band plans have been censured and fined by the FCC even though the "sub
bands" they may ahve violated were not exactly specified by the FCC.
Please refer to just about any current day training text and you will see
that there ARE areas set aside for SSB communications in the VHF and above
spectrum.
That you don't considerthem "valid" since they are not specifically
delineated in Part 97 is irrelevent. Those 670,000+ licensed Amateurs DO
consider them valid.
Back to sleep, Your Putziness.
