Hold that thought!


Okay, but only until after this weekend! ;^)


On March 4th, 1913 when hams were banished to "200 meters and down", the
service would have gone extinct if the prevailing attitude had been
similar to you guys' head in the sand stance, and the ARRL "We can do
this through political pressure" pipe dream.


Not hardly. If the ARS were to be banished to a few bands, and allowed
only digital signals of very small BW, I had come up with a method of
doing voice comms using hardly any BW at all. Hardly cutting edge stuff,
but cutting edge stuff isn't our province (on the ham bands) anymore.

That's more than what I hear from anyone else.
