Mal - GROW UP.

This is fantastic news for the Appliance Operator. Follow a basic set up guide then let the unattended machines, all 200 of them growling away at each other at 2 minute intervals. Operator check data base once a year for possible hits.

I am surprised it is not more popular.

Over Xmas the bulk of activity was by Radio Operators on LF using CW and QRS plus some limited MF activity again using CW.

Mal,

Some suggestions:

1. More people should use WSPR - lots of stations (more than 100 at a time based on 10MHz usage) are able to operate together within just a 200Hz slice of the band allowing very useful data on propagation and station performance/changes to be determined.  This would leave plenty of room elsewhere in the band for CW and other narrowband conversational modes.
2. Occasional testing with SSB, for those allowed to use it (not UK), is of interest to me as a listener, but I agree that it's not a good idea to use this mode when the band is open for really long-distance DX if interference to weak signals is likely.
3. You should try a New Year resolution: "I will be more tolerant and moan less".
   

73s and a happy New Year to all on this reflector

I am afraid we have a SSB beacon on 508 kcs spreading over 3 kcs wide and S9 plus with me. Beacon SM6BHZ is causing QRM to those of us trying to listen and work the East Coast USA stations. I cannot understand why a station is licensed to work SSB in such a narrow band allocation.

The 500 kcs band is a Shambles swamped by beacons.

Does anyone else have an opinion?
