20 Meter Phone Band Expansion
 

Is there a group, club or organization that is working towards expansion of
the 20 meter phone band? If so, does anyone have their contact information?

Roland, NK2U

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?

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.

47 CFR 97 applies in only one country in the world. Not in mine.

If you like CW, it is possible to move to the country that uses 47 CFR
97, No?

:-) I am a bit short sighted, Your comment is correct that 47 CFR 97
is USA and possessions, territories ONLY

Besides we have La Jolla in Calif

I cannot imagine that any sane person would wish to move to the USA
... at least not whilst it is under the present "management"!

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....

With the end result that you could only chat to other 47CFR residents, not
the rest of the civilised world.

LOL! Yes, there are some good points, I have to admit!
:-)

I am too young to remember Neville Chamberlain, but Margaret Thatcher
was bad enough ...

Are you Liberal, Socialist, Conservative, Labor, or what?

I am responsible for me!! The government is not responsible for me!! The
government provides for common good order, a common currency of
exchange, the common defense, and an independent judiciary.

Ergo, I'm Conservative and think the GWB is 95% correct in his policies.

Now, in the USA, if the Democraps wake up and get away from their
Liberal and Socialist Policies and focus on working class issues ...
then maybe ...

Now Brad, in the 47CFR sphere of regulation, I can communicate with
anyone who can copy CW, SSB, RTTY, PSK, AM, FM [above 29 MHz], etc.

Are you admitting that you are a HAM who CANNOT copy CW?? If so, shame
on you!!

You mean you have NEVER worked cross mode on any band!!!

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.

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...

Better question: Why should the taxpayers rebuild a city that is below
sea level and is on the hurricane bullseye? IMO, this is going to be a
trillion dollar mess. The insurance companies will not have assets
sufficient to rebuild [Chapter 11 ?]. Seventy five percent of the
housing will have to be condemned. Lake Ponchatrain [sp] is being
deliberately polluted by pumping New Orleans sewage and contaminated
water into it. etc. Hospitals and other infrastructure needs total
rebuilding and safety [contamination] certification. The residual mud in
New Orleans is more contaminated than your SEPTIC system. Where does it
go? How is it treated?

Global warming issues are sure to surface. More hurricanes are sure to
arrive. Anything made by humans [AKA levees] will eventually fail.

Democrats will blame the Republicans. Republicans will blame the
Democrats. Poor will blame the rich. Rich will blame the poor. Racism
will surely surface. And, the USA taxpayer will be SLOWLY [.S L O W L Y]
DRAINED OF FUNDS. My estimate is that the cost to you and me will exceed
$3000 for each person, including children, in the USA.

I propose: Rebuild the port, entertainment and the industrial base on
ground that is above sea level. Move residential areas to higher ground.
This will be a ten [+ or -] year rebuilding effort. The cost will be
about the same, but, the probability of another similar disaster will be
lessened.

Having posed the question, I'll now go to chase some DX.
