Local informal convention here is that AM is clustered in the vicinity of 50.400
to 50.550Mhz.

Try your local frequency coordinating body, perhaps the repeater
coordinating body for 6M, if that is your interest. Each state or
locality is different.

AM activity on 6m centers near 50.4 MHz. That's been going on for at
least 25 years.

It is "band planning", Mark and it isn't done on a local basis. It is

Parkersburg, Marietta and Columbus would be in a dither. You told us of

Whaddya mean, "so"? If everyone takes it upon himself to implement a
"local band plan" then there isn't any band plan. FM ops interfere with
SSB ops, packet ops interfere with FM repeater operation and repeaters
interfere with each other. Where's that IQ of 248 that you've claimed?

While we're on that topic, there's some interesting info to be found at:

http://www.ufomind.com/misc/1997/dec/d28-001.shtml

It say, in part:

"To answer your question, we can simply pickup a 1989 copy of the
Guinness Book
of World Records . Marilyn Vos Savant is listed on page 26 as having the
highest recorded IQ . It says '...as a ten year old she achieved a ceiling
score for 23-year-olds, thus giving her an IQ of 228.' Her record was
retired
to the guinness hall of fame because scores that high are no longer possible
due to a lowering of test score ceilings. (As I'm sure you're already
guessing
it's because scores that high weren't very valid in the first place.) Most
other reference books state Marilyn Vos Savant's, IQ at 190, and still the
highest ever recorded."

That'd make your claim preposterous.


You told us of
your lack of knowledge of where 6m AM activity might be found.


can't you tell the turth about anything

Here's the "turth", the whole "turth" and nothing but the "turth":

"been chatting with some locals interested in some AM stuff on 6M and
prehaps elsewhere planety of really unsed rf 'real estate' but little
mention of anything but ssb cw and Fm on the bandplans"

or in our case some of us would rather operate where folks will not
come looking for as DX. I have a nice AM tube set (built from the
article in CQ VHF before it shut down) others have have various rigs
and would like to use em more

another area I hear folks around talk about is 440(70cm) since we are
north of the "a" line the national does not serve some folks needs as
well as it could

I don't think the repeater coordinators care what you do on other modes. Here
in Minnesota, at least, they concern themselves only with the repeater
sub-bands.

If I wanted to establish a new local AM presence I wouldn't even involve the
coordinator, if for no other reason than it's outside their job description, and
once you have their advice it becomes a "rule" of sorts. Fugitit!

As I mentioned earlier, in this area the casual AM'ers seem to be clustered
between 50.400 and 50.550, although I think there are a couple of nets that use
50.355. My inclination would be to stay above the SSB weak signal guys and
below the digital stuff. That gives you 600KHz, or roughly 75 6KHz AM slots
with 3KHz guard channels interleaved.

more pronucements from on high

the MM's have spoken
If you are coordinating to avoid putting your
local machine with one 50 or 75 miles away, you aren't dealing with
local band planning. You're dealing with regional band planning.

not according to the ARRL you are being pretty certain about the
meaning of words

the ARRL says local bandplaning is possible

Now, what do your comments have to do with 6m AM operation?

why does it have to?

the topic was local band planing as described in the ARRL repeater
guide as possible

It is
done on a national and regional basis. If we decided to implement a
local band plan for 2m here, the 2m users in Pittsburgh, Morgantown,

Follow the url I posted for the ARRL band plans. Read them. We can
discuss it when you're educated.

I have

nothing is stated that says CW SSB or AM are somehow not subject to
adjustment or local (or repgional) varriation, indeed the ARRL would
lack the power to say that

Great. There've been AM repeaters on 5m, 6m and 2m in the past. I know
of none at the present. Were you and the boys in the club going to
start a 6m AM repeater?

which mean you knoew of them? which means your point was what?

There is no reason that my house can't be chartreuse...but it isn't.

Do you know of any 6m AM repeaters? Just one will get you off the hook.

Do I -have- to?

Hans appears incapable.

Try your local frequency coordinating body, perhaps the repeater
coordinating body for 6M, if that is your interest. Each state or
locality is different.

Not for 6m AM, SSB or CW it isn't.


No? Every state and locality can be different.

For 6m AM, SSB and CW? You're simply incorrect.


more pronoucement from on High

you make the assertion explain why

Follow the url I posted for the ARRL band plans. Read them. We can
discuss it when you're educated.

One size does not fit
all. Read your ARRL repeater guide. Notice all the caveats wrt band
plans, coordination, and even spacing.

Those are regional differences, not local ones. What does the repeater
guide say about 6m AM operation?

which matters how

no reason a 6m Am repeater can be built.

No reason it can be built? Did you mean "can't be built". Read my
comments above.

I know Riley was going on about a 2m AM repeater at one point

Great. There've been AM repeaters on 5m, 6m and 2m in the past. I know
of none at the present. Were you and the boys in the club going to
start a 6m AM repeater?

I'm floored by this MMM coming out against a legacy mode. Wow and Hi!

indeed and fixacting on the example rather than the issue

Indeed the behavoir of the MMM is forcing me to reconsider wether there
might not be serious negitive health in some sectors of the population
induced by exposure to Mosre Coded CW

but indeed a 6M Am repeater has been kicked around althought the desire
is imply to use AM simplex mostly some where it general is not looked
for so we locals can chat.

I and others find I like AM simplex over FM simplex but when we try
using using we sometimes get interfed with by DX

I don't think the repeater coordinators care what you do on other modes. Here
in Minnesota, at least, they concern themselves only with the repeater
sub-bands.

Yet there are frequency coordinators listed in the ARRL Repeater Guide
that do concern themselves with with frequencies, especially if you
wan't to operate outside the ordinary bandplans.

If I wanted to establish a new local AM presence I wouldn't even involve the
coordinator, if for no other reason than it's outside their job description, and
once you have their advice it becomes a "rule" of sorts. Fugitit!

Yikes! Rules from people working outside "thier" job descriptions.

As I mentioned earlier, in this area the casual AM'ers seem to be clustered
between 50.400 and 50.550, although I think there are a couple of nets that use
50.355. My inclination would be to stay above the SSB weak signal guys and
below the digital stuff. That gives you 600KHz, or roughly 75 6KHz AM slots
with 3KHz guard channels interleaved.

Fair enough. But they just might have some crystals for freqs in the
repeater bands (whatever those happen to be at the moment), and want to
do some operating as long as they don't interfere with existing users.
He never did say what he wanted to do exactly.

His local gang was tlaking to their new club official. None of them
knew anything about frequencies used for 6m AM operation.

not at all

I was trying to spark an On Topic discussion HERE about how folks
would go about local band planing

It is "band planning", Mark and it isn't done on a local basis.

It can be on vhf and above frequencies. You just need to open your
mind a little, a very little.

It can't be done locally if there is any chance of interfering with
other regional repeaters. If you are coordinating to avoid putting your
local machine with one 50 or 75 miles away, you aren't dealing with
local band planning. You're dealing with regional band planning.

Now, what do your comments have to do with 6m AM operation?

What is the input and output?

It is
done on a national and regional basis. If we decided to implement a
local band plan for 2m here, the 2m users in Pittsburgh, Morgantown,
Parkersburg, Marietta and Columbus would be in a dither.


There is still room for local variation in a regional plan.

...not if there is any chance of interfering with other repeaters in
your region, there isn't.

You state a caveat, then come down hard with a firm "NO!"

Hi!

Do you think the various 6M repeater plans can't have room for another
repeater?

You told us of

your lack of knowledge of where 6m AM activity might be found. A couple
of us told you. Now you'll undoubtedly string us along for a number of
posts as you did over the 60m "band".

Perhaps he and other associates have no 6M crystal for where the AM
activity might be found and wants a local variation.

Yeah, that not being able to buy a crystal would be a significant hurdle.

Sheesh.

CW has been crammed down our throats since the 70's because some
thirld-worlder might not be able to purchase a microphone so I think
it's legitimate that a person in America might want to try out a rig
with a crystal already in hand without having to special order one from
Jan.

Of course, your opinion is different.
