Hash: SHA1 "Dee" == Dee D Flint writes: [...] Dee Mike, it sounds like you are confusing band plans and regulated Dee segment divistions. The HF bands have segments where only CW and Dee data modes are allowed by regulation. Phone and slow scan TV Dee cannot be used at all in those segments. However there is the Dee "gentleman's agreement band plan" layered on top of that. For Dee example, in the CW/data portion, RTTY is operated in certain Dee segments by agreement. Up in the phone portions, the SST Dee enthusiasts operate in certain segments by agreement. If new Dee hams try to operate voice outside the voice segments on HF, they Dee will not only be in violation of the bandplans but will be in Dee violation of FCC regulations, which could cost them their Dee licenses. Hmm. Any chance you could provide some citations for these "gentleman's agreements"? I do not doubt their existence, I'd just like to find some online pointers to them. Recently I had to ask around where to find some RTTY so I could test my setup -- if I'd known about these agreements, I'd have a better chance of finding it on my own. Also, I'd like to avoid accidentally operating on a portion of the band which is traditionally for a different type of mode -- I'm more likely to get a response from a CW CQ if I'm not calling on the RTTY portion, etc. Dee Dee D.
