So why are you broadcasting on a dead band?


I'm "broadcasting" on a dead band so not to cause harmful
interference.



Aside from hams within about 50 miles of you, who's
gonna be able to hear it? Still say the Internet is
a better tool for this....


Well so could amateur radio.

So could amateur radio what?

All amateurs should move to the internet

For what possible purpose? The internet isn't amateur radio.

Let's get rid of amateur radio all together and
all go to the internet.

Why should we do that?

Because someone said I should have my information bulletin on the web. Since
that's the solution then maybe we should ALL go the web and the FCC auction
off all the spectrum we have.

No, Todd. The suggestion was for you and others who want to play "boy
broadcaster".

All the stuff the amateur do can all be done on the
internet.

Really? I don't believe you. Can I work meteor scatter on the
internet?
Can I work 160m DXCC on the internet? Can I use the internet in an
emergency when the phone lines are down?

With the advancement of the internet with BPL and wireless. I'm sure some
moron will come up with a way so the internet will remain on while
phonelines are down.

That's pretty unlikely. Not only do the phones go out in summer and
winter storms here, often the power goes with it. Not all of us live in
cities, Todd.

The majority of amateur don't contest.

Where was anything written about contesting?

I sure all the amateur bands could be used for another service.

"I sure" they could be too. Why would they be?

well like I said the solution as one person put it is to put stuff like
information bulletins on the internet.

I'm not promulgating information bulletins. I suppose that means I'll
stick to the ham bands.
