LF: RE: 500 bandplan?

["Dave G3WCB" <ganymede444@btopenworld.com>]



Dear LF, Dave,

 

I think it was me that kicked-off the original discussion. It makes sense for people using narrow modes like QRSS and DFCW to cluster together somewhere within a 100 Hz window - the width of an "Argo" screen. I've got crystals for 503.5 and 501.5, so either of those two slots would get my vote!

 

This reflector seems a reasonable place for 500 kHz activity to be discussed, provided we put "500" in the subject line to allow mail filtering as VY1JA suggested.

 

I did some tests last week-end, and I can listen on 137 kHz QRSS/DFCW while sending on 500 kHz, which makes cross-band a possibility. The man-machine interface isn't so good, as the PCs are in different rooms! I need to work on this a bit, but hope to be QRV cross-band soon (not this week-end..got visitors.)

 

73, Dave G3WCB IO91RM

Subject: LF: 500 bandplan?

Someone had to ask the question "Do we need a band-plan?".

Finbar is beaconing down the bottom, which seem OK to me, I've been trying for QSOs near the top because my local noises seem to congregate near 501kHz. Do we want to suggest areas for different activities like on 136?
In fact do we need to set up a Google / Yahoo group (or is there already one going) for European 500k activity to be discussed or is this the place to do it?

Questions questions!

Discuss...

Dave.
