"Alun L. Palmer" wrote in message .. . wrote in oups.com: I submit that we don't fix what ain't broke. But it is 'broke'. If I have to go split to talk to the DX, that's quite broke enough to need fixing. But fix it from the DX side. Do you really want to limit us to the same 40 meter band that they have? We'd LOSE part of the band. Actually this fix is being worked on. At the same conference where the ITU changed the treaty requirements for Morse code, they also put in a scheduled change for allocation of more of the 40 meter band to hams on a world wide basis. By something like 2007 or 2009 (I forget the year), hams outside this region will get up to 7.200 exclusively allocated to amateur radio so that they will overlap into our voice privileges thus making split unnecessary. Of course some will still use split just as some use split on bands where they don't have to today. Some countries have already allowed their amateurs to use the new allocation in advance of the turnover date. Dee D. Flint, N8UZE |
