Hello the list,

     Some time back I made comments about my using ssb and sstv on 600m,
however since  I did not give a complete picture and it is possible to draw
false conclusions from what I said.
      When the WE2XGR license was issued back in 2007  I requested on the
application and was granted 505-515 kHz.. WE2XGR was the ONLY licensee to
have access to 510-515kHz (until very recently, now WG2XJM also has
privileges there). When we decided to operate ssb we chose to get on 510kHz
upper sideband so as not cause QRM with other users (there were no other
users above 510 !).
       That said the ssb operation consists of a once a week net at 0200
UTC Monday (Sunday night here) that typically lasts 20-30 minutes. The
other 10,050 minutes in a week there is no operation on ssb there or
anywhere else!

      My point is that WE2XGR was in the unique position of having access
to spectrum that it did not share with other users so QRM is a non-issue.
Putting an ssb signal on a 7kHz wide shared band is a completely different
matter.  I was concerned that my comments about using ssb on 600m could be
construed as an endorsement of this mode on a small slice of spectrum which
is being offered to hams, this is not in fact the case.
