old friend:
Well, I am a bit suspicious if my gov't is not worried about people here firing up a rig and sending encoded text and documents to other countries. And, it has been my experience that if you are willing to give up rights there will be no end to those taking them away. However, I'd love to see that VHF rig you fire up to chat with the Antarctica or the aussies on a reg basis with the sun spot cycle... well, there is always moon bounce and the internet... John "an_old_friend" wrote in message oups.com... I doubt it HF is all but useless to the FCC they want peiecs of VHF etc John Smith wrote: I think anyone over-looking the bigger picture has to suspect that HF will, rather quickly, be taken from amateurs. The abundance of techs is being created to drop the percentage of hams using HF. At some point I suspect a "move" will be made on these all important HF bands and they will be removed from amateur service. I suspect that techs account for about 50% of activity on the bands now--when that reaches 66%, and certainly 75%, I think HF will be pulled... Here is Hollingsworth on his "vision(s)", some may interpret it differently: http://www.wr6wr.com/newSite/article...longbeach.html John |
