says:- >Ever since some
Amateurs started using DECCA JEEP(5501) transmittersat 1.2-1.5kW rf output
the 1W erp limit seemed not to apply. I belive everyone south of Watford
uses one< When I had
my T/A QSO two way, not cross band, I was using a 350Watt Audio amp.My
measured erp was 300-340mW.I now use 1kW which makes my erp 857-971mW
!I must say I am getting very tired of the constant non-constructive criticism
not tosay down right rudeness coming from North of Watford.
Is it the competition north of Watford
that you do not like ? or the humour or what ?
I tolerate my southern neighbours
observations even when they are uncomplimentary.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion,
whether you agree with them or not.
The audio amplifier qso to which you
refer, was that a landline qso ? there has been so much confusion over
past TA qso's where rules have been made up as one goes along, and putting
bits and pieces of callsigns together over days and weeks that anyone privately
that I speak to connected with LF does not know what to believe.
Recent TA QSO'S that have been taking
place by a number of UK/EU operators xband are more valid and verifiable
and have been completed in minutes or just over an hour at the most at
the lower qrs speeds.
If anyone disputes the above observations
then let us have your opinion.
There is nothing rude about trying
to get the facts straight.
