Well, how many different ways do you want to be able to exchange signal
reports and WX, or God forbid, information bulletins? How many
positions do you want on the old MODE switch? The point is, try
exchanging something useful or interesting rather than worrying about
how the information is exchanged. You aren't going to get an
interested audience for your 'information bulletins,' either, because
you have nothing useful to convey, so give it up. You are just going
to make enemies and take up space like K1MAN. Originally you planned
to do your broadcast on 10 meters at 9 PM. At that time of night, no
one beyond about 10 miles is going to hear you. That, right there,
demonstrates your knowledge of radio and propagation. Only a freaking
CBer would consider doing a 10 M broadcast at 9 PM. As for SSTV,
after you exchange a few poor quality pics of the OM, the shack, or
maybe the XYL's butt, what more do you do with it? You say that hams
should work to ADVANCE radio communications? WTF What is the next
step? DXing space aliens? ROTFLMAO
