Hey, the good ole' boys sent me another, unsolicited, email YEA! ;-)

I guess they expected me to post it here, as a follow-up; OK, I will:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

As a routine procedure, significant numbers of article rejections by a
given submitter are reviewed by our Appeals Board, and a determination
is made whether that individual requires administrative action. Such
actions could include warnings, suspensions, or in extreme cases such as
uncooperative repeat offenders, a permanent ban from our newsgroup.

Our Appeals Board has decided to assign a temporary suspension from the
rec.radio.amateur.moderated newsgroup for a period of 60 days from the
date of your last article rejection (July 29th, 2008). During this
time, your article submissions will be automatically rejected without
moderator review. We may also choose to report continued rejected
submissions to our newsgroup to your ISP as unsolicited, harassing,
communications with our team. Your suspension will be lifted on or
about September 27, 2008. We caution you to take our feedback under
consideration, and incorporate it into any future submissions after the
suspension is lifted.

Your rejected articles, and rejection reasons, are given below. We have
also considered a message that was sent to our administrative contact
address, also included below. Our recommendations to you going forward
include:

- There is no need to test the moderation system, or the moderators.
We are in positive control of the newsgroup, and are willing and able
to reject any articles that do not meet our charter and posting
guidelines. A couple of the articles that you have submitted, and
were rejected, were obviously rejectable by the standards of nearly
any moderated newsgroup, so we see no reason why they were submitted
except as a test or provocation.

- Our newsgroup is about amateur radio, not about off-topic discussions
of individual personalities, nor complaints or criticisms or
speculation about moderators and moderation decisions. To allow this
off-topic content would reduce our newsgroup to the state of some of
the presently-ruined and unusable unmoderated newsgroups (newsgroups
which we notice that you will not even post to anymore).

- The moderation team is willing to positively recognize acts of good
faith, and consider mitigating circumstances when evaluating
histories of article rejections. These include submitters making
recommended edits and resubmitting articles, as well as utilizing our
appeals process. The Appeals Board, a team of moderators separate
and independent from the team that reviews article submissions, is
always willing to fairly consider civilly-stated, original appeals
and complaints sent to our administrative contact E-mail address
(given below). We are not impressed or swayed by uncivil, bad-faith,
methods of complaint, including public ad-hominem attacks against the
moderation team in other forums, and E-mailed ASCII-art
representations of obscene hand gestures.

- We ask that any submitter to our newsgroup engage in some reasonable
amount of self-reflection as to the purpose and end-goals of their
participation. Are you truly engaging in honest, good-faith efforts
to convince others of your point-of-view, possibly to help make the
world (or our small part of it) a better place? Or is the newsgroup
merely a target of convenience for your abuse, anger, grudges,
prejudices, and attempts at retribution that would be socially
unacceptable, and punishable, elsewhere? Are you seeking to use
public forums such as ours for personal entertainment from "stirring
the pot" with obvious trolling and flame-baiting? Unmoderated
newsgroups may have to tolerate such behavior, but moderated
newsgroups such as ours do not. We will take decisive action to
protect our newsgroup for the benefit of those who do wish to
participate constructively, and not be insulted, harassed,
threatened, or otherwise abused by individuals who are apparently not
interested in constructive participation.

We do sincerely hope that after the suspension is lifted, you will have
either chosen to break bad habits by leaving the newsgroup permanently,
or be able to moderate your habit and participate productively in
on-line forums such as ours. If not, the next likely action of ours
will be either a much longer suspension, or possibly even a permanent
ban.

Sounds like a clear message from the market to me!

73 de Jim, N2EY


However, if a new market comes forth, one composed of amateurs
with
little or no knowledge of CW and only using digital voice and
digital
data transmission--it would be market controlled also, and one
would
suspect it would self-correct and frown on the use of the bands
for
wasteful analog and cw communications.

I would disagree. Those modes are not wasteful. On the other
hand, a
vision of using the HF bands for data transmission would indeed
be a way
of filling up our bands pretty quickly, and for not a lot of
gain. If
I'm interested in Data Transmission, I would design a system for
frequencies where there is less natural noise - VHF and up. Then
bandwidth issues would be less of a problem too.


Let's face it, digital voice is the only way to go.

I would disagree. What I have seen in digital voice so far
offers no
particular advantage over SSB, unless we are talking about
digital for
it's own sake. Most schemes that I have seen have some fatal
flaws, such
as the received transmission must be received in toto - IOW if
you don't
catch the beginning, you don't catch anything. The solution to that
would be channelizing HF, or assigning specific frequencies to
Digital
voice. In addition, unless there have been some big advances
recently,
Digital voice does not have any particular bandwidth advantages.

Give me a Digital voice mode that I can tune across the band and
pick up
a conversation at any point in the transmission, and a 1 KHz or less
bandwidth signal, and then I'll be interested. And of course,
I'll need
to see that some other folks are buying the digital radios too,
so I'll
have people to talk to.

PSK is too slow for
data transmission of LARGE and multi-megabyte amounts of data,
end of
story.

As for PSK, you are correct that it is too slow for data
transmission. But that little 31 baud signal was never intended
for Data
transmission. It was intended for correctable text at a rate that a
reasonably proficient typist could tap away at the keyboard in real
time. Also a mode that can be efficiently operated at QRP and lover
levels. And for that, it is an excellent mode.

- 73 de Mike KB3EIA -


Really?

I see many QSO's taking place on ONE FREQ. The packets would contain a
crc number AND a serial no. denoting the conversation they pertain too,
as well as a no. indicating their logical place in decoding ...

Presently, only one QSO can take place on a single freq ...

NO, wasteful is MOST ACCURATE, only the ignorant need respond without
fully educating themselves ...

It should already cover 10:

If it doesn't cover 11 meters, it probably has some type of "notch

One mans' science is another mans' "magic", I guess ...

Increasing the data which a band of freqs, or even bands of freqs, can
send/receive by 10x?, 100x?, 1000x? or ???x is not a good thing?

The future is compressed data/voice/video/etc. packets--the present use
of the amateur bands stands in vivid contrast, when efficiency is
considered, to most all other forms of communications these days--this
condition will only worsen with time. (analog am/fm radio will, most
likely, fall within the next decade.)

Certainly amateur radio will not be able to justify another decade of
its present "modes." And, certainly no more freqs will be granted
amateurs until the efficient use of the present bands is maximized
and a
real need demonstrated.

Resistance is futile. -- The Borg.

P.S. I hear they kill the bearer of bad news here ...

None of this means Amateur Radio must never ever connect to the 'net
or to other communications systems. What it does mean is that such
connections are an enhancement and/or interface, not a
replacement for
"A Boy And His Radio" (to use K0HB's phrase).

N2EY/Jim:

Well, perhaps this will be classified as a, "Yes; I agree post" and be
banned from posting. But, here goes ...

Your post was simply eloquent. It drew a complete picture for
me--krist, I will be honest with you, for a minute there, you took me
back to 12 years old and I remembered the promise of discovery! ... I
can really appreciate that!

Yes. I too was led to this path by the "romance" and "mysticism" of
radio and the lure of speaking to individuals in far away
places--constructions and experiments with electronic
parts/gear/techniques/army-surplus/etc. and antenna hardware, etc.
There is nothing wrong in enjoying these things.

You don't just have a right to enjoy such things, nor do you JUST enjoy
a right to explain them to others so they may find and enjoy them--you
have a GOD GIVEN RIGHT to these things!

I can only support you in your endeavors and exercise(s) of your
pursuit(s.) Don't be surprised if I am fond of your enjoyment of
radio,
and also can realize such enjoyments--still, even at my age ...

However, I also enjoy other paths/uses of such a remarkable pastime as
radio ... in short, the net can add to these enjoyments; your
statement,
above, affirms our agreement to that ... remember the three blind men
and the elephant--we are SO different, perhaps, in our views, but also
SO alike ...

Perhaps, you Phil and I--and others, should see ourselves as simply
travelers upon the same path--everyone is simply enjoying the view of
different "things" along our walkabout ... I suspect, I might miss what
you find--unless you discuss them with me, thanks for taking the time
and reminding me!

Warm regards,
JS

THAT is just too much of a romantics and dreamers vision for me. In
such times, where there is a "catastrophic failure of civilization" (I
mean, this is the only thing I can imagine which would hold the drama
you suggest)--trust me, if you can find someone to trade that rig to
for
a gun, a loaf of bread, some medicine for your family, shelter,
bedding,
etc., take them up on it! If you think food, medicine, fuel for
heat/cooling and shelter are going to be in demand--just try hunting up
a hot 220V outlet ...

Amateur radio did little to alleviate human suffering, pain, needs and
rescue in the New Orleans disaster--I suspect the highly specific
disaster you envision will never come, but if it does, temporary cell
towers on trailers (you know they have them, right) will be more
suited--or, as I have stated before--truckers with CB's (heck, solar
powered lowfers and QRP'ers may look good!) But hey, I have seen
Hollywood writers make a fortune selling this line, many books have
contained these ideas also--rescue by radio! ... a lot of scifi flicks
have an amateur radio in the background also--yep, I have read 'em and
watched 'em ... :-)

But then, you never know, we could be invaded by Canada or Mexico
tomorrow and find we are fresh out of nukes!

Now, all that said, I DO plan on keeping my KW+ and 5KW amps ... ya
never know, ya just never know ... but power for them, in such a
disaster? :-(

I just hope a few feds/state-workers are left to see some temp cell
towers set up ...

JS
