Gee! Am I wrong? I thought the 20 meter CW band went from 14,000,000 Hz
to 14,350,000 Hz!!! When did 47 CFR 97 change?

If so, does anyone have their contact information? No. We are working towards the expansion of the 20 meter CW and digital modes band, and the reduction of the 20 meter phone band. |

In theory, yes, but "Good amateur practice" would say that if you want
to operate CW you probably should select a frequency that is often used by other CW operators. Something about informal band plans and gentlemen's agreements.... |

Indeed - agree, however it is frequent for a DXer to make a phone contact and ask the DX to change to CW (on the same phone frequency) to confirm that mode. Perfectly acceptable under the rules and is common. -- CL -- I doubt, therefore I might be ! |

Werl, I dunno about 'common' but I've done it once, in order to work Tromelin on CW for the first time. And I didn't even have to ask... FR5ZQ/T had a big 'phone pile-up in the 'phone part of 20m and I knew that he worked (and preferred) CW - he was also my first FR/G on CW. I sent my call in CW over the 'phone pile-up and he came right back on that mode. I didn't wait around to hear what happened after that, but I imagine that some of the callers started opening drawers looking for their Morse keys... Derek aa5bt |
