Considering the WPX is on, the USA hams are operating splits like
7024/7220, why not put that nice rig to work earning a few qso's instead
of complaining about the rest of the world? (and learn a bit more about
it too)

Because I like operating CW, not SSB. I got into HF for CW, not SSB.

There are no contests on the WARC bands, 30M, 17M, and 12M
And 30M is all CW or Data -- no phone.

A DXer reported working the FT5XO Dxpedition on 30M with just three calls
last night.
If you are going to work CW -- get some good antennas in the CW bands.

If noise is a problem on 80 or 160M, make a low noise receiving loop.

CL -- I doubt, therefore I might be !

For much of the rest of the world, 40 meters is 7.000 to 7.100.

It may come as a shock to you but there are other places in the world where
there are amateur radio operators and their bands do not always match up
with ours -- 40 is a good example.

How are the rest of the CW operators dealing with all the SSB that is
showing up in the 40 meter CW portion of the band?

Here it is the weekend and there's some contest going on and there is
more SSB in the CW portion of the band then there is SSB in the SSB
portion of the band. What gives with this?

On HF I'm a 99% CW operator, only been licensed about a year and love
CW, don't care much for SSB. But I'm starting to wonder why I paid
$1800 for a Yaesu FT-1000Mk V Field as it looks like I won't be able to
use it for what I bought it for this weekend...

Help

It may be even more of shock that ham radio operators are important
in their eyes only. Ham radio has been irrelevant for years, hams just
have not realized it yet, and probably never will.

"How come the young kids aren't coming into ham radio anymore."?
duhhhhhhhh, anyone hear about Advanced Technology?

Why do you subscribe to amateur radio groups if you hate hams?

Well sir in Southern California, in the last year or so, we have trained
about 30 school kids who obtained their license.
Donations have been made to set up complete Ham stations at the schools.
In our repeater club there are well over 75 members age 25 and below.
At our field day, we had two troops of boy scouts who got on the radio.
Several went on to get a license.
Ditto for the JOTA day (if you know what that is)
The kids loved PSK31 - no internet they asked.

How many youths have you trained ???

Well sir when theSAN DIEGO COUNTY was ON FI
CEDAR FIRE LARGEST IN STATE HISTORY
16 dead, 2,342 single family dwellings & 383,657 acres burned
I repeat 16 dead, 2,342 single family dwellings & 383,657 acres burned
It was a disaster of unimagined proportions.

I can assure you that Amateur Radio was quite relevant -- to the tune
of over 500 Amateurs participating. Won accolades from local officials and
the media.

Are you a member of ARES or RACES ?

Are you prepared for the BIG one that will surely come your way?

Well are you?

When the cell phones are out, telephone lines are toast, power is
lost, you will wish you had a battery operated mountain top repeater. Ours
was on battery power or portable generator power for 3 days after the
commercial power was lost.

Do you support such a repeater, are you even a Ham?

Support Amateur Radio or rely on your silly phone - the choice is
yours.

You need to do some research before you blather out this stereotype
nonsense.

If Phil is a Ham I'll bet he will be the first on the air when the disaster
hits his area.
His silly phone and internet of "Advanced Technology" will be deader than a
dodo.

Like I said, learn more about the other regions, the rest of the world does
not use the same bandplan as the USA (thank God for that!) VK have phone
privileges on 30m. Excellent band for 600km range communications mobile, by
day, which is about the distance from Sydney to Brisbane and Sydney to
Melbourne. SSB from 10115 - 10140. Main calling on 10120, secondary 10125.

You have the same level of comprehension skill as Hans. Kindly point out
where I mentioned *phone and internet* in my posting? Then again,
nevermind, it is beyond you.
