Well Me Jon, the only reason your are NOT on HF is your ham ticket.
It's a "TECHNICIAN" class. There are many more operations on HF (shortwave) than you have stated. I don't know how they give ham tests in AZ, but in the eastern part of the country we are not "SWORN" in or take any kind of oath. And yes, I agree that most ham do spend tons of hard earned money on their gear, especially IF your on HF. "Jon M. Hanson" wrote: There are many interferance issues with BPL especially at shortwave frequencies. It's not only amateur radio operators that use these frequencies but the military and federal government do as well. Amateur radio operators are sworn to provide emergency communications in times of national disaster when other forms of communication are down or overwhelmed. They are simply bringing to the regulatory agency's attention the possibility of them not being able to fulfull their duties if they are needed. How would you feel if a hobby that you have spent a lot of time and money in is suddenly rendered worthless? Disclaimer: I am an amateur radio operator (N7ZVJ) but I don't operate at shortwave frequencies. |
