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...

Almost ALL countries outside of the Americas ONLY have 7.000 to 7.100
for 40 meters.

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)

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.

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?

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.
