Re: LF: Are the new VE stations able to qso with other amature stations ??

I've been VERY disappointed, having contacted RAC (of which I'm a member) a few months ago to get a list of those interested in permits for 600 metre stations, just to have TOTAL silence on the matter from RAC.  I heard about the apparently secretive project through other than Canadian sources and could not find any information on the RAC website.  There isn't much point hanging around on the list as my time and interest lie elsewhere than beacon monitoring,  I may be back when someone, Canadian or otherwise, decides to release some useful information regarding AMATEUR permits for the 600m band.

A fine argument if VX9MRC was licensed in the amateur service. 

But amateur regulations do not apply as VX9MRC is licensed in the developmental service as posting your license publicly would allow others to see.

Permissible communication in the developmental service must be clearly stated in the license terms.

Polishing up the plank,

For those who have worked VX9MRC and are losing sleep for fear of being asked to walk the plank by their licensing authority, please take comfort in

the following:

The General Radio Regulations defina a radio station as "a place wherein radio apparatus is located." VO1NA is duly "licensed" in Canada and is the radio station wherein is located the radiotelegraphic apparatus of VX9MRC, thanks to the kind efforts of the Marconi Radio Club of Newfoundland.

The regulations state "No operator of an amateur station shall communicate

with radio stations other than stations licensed in the amateur service"

Therefore, any station that communicates with VX9MRC is communicating with a station licensed in the amateur serivce and does so accordance with the regulations.

Alas, ye olde PIRATE who can evidently lob 10^30 big (600m) photons per

second across the brine pond is but an amateur in legal matters.

  The whole setup looks decidedly dodgy to me. If they are Pirates how

would it affect my license if the opportunity arose for me to work one and I

did? The only place I know where I am licensed work a non Amateur station is

on 5megs and that can only be a UK Mill station.

It's a question of how much you value your license I suppose.

SO.... Matter and antimatter cannot coexist at close range for more than a

small fraction of a second because they collide with and annihilate each

other, releasing large quantities of energy in the form of gamma rays

Got it  now .. gamma rays are electromagnetic ..hence radio waves are

produced .. which may suffer  (constructive interference) or (destructive

interference) resulting in large variations in amplitude at the point of

observation .....

Thanks  !

Hi John

VX is in developmental service (same idea as US stations), EI in amateur

service... Like positive and negative antimatter they don't mix.

Hi Graham

All Canadian 600m stations are operating under COMMERCIAL Developmental

Licenses and are not able to communicate with the Amateur Service.

So VX9MRC shouldn't be having regular CW QSOs with EI0CF?

Still confused....
