Subject: Re: LF: 477 A local SSB chat
band ?
Just a thought.....when it gets totally washed out with SSB all 24
hours how are you going to clean it out? People in general dont follow
gentlemen's agreements they were not party too.....and "it doesnt say I cant
in the licence".
I fear that, though what you
suggest would work, it might encourage mayhem.
I agree with Alan. What is wrong with top band for local chats? Or the
acres of unused space on 2m or 70cms? To consider using any form of SSB
on 630m just because it might be technically feasible if sheer lunacy. IMHO it
would kill the band for other modes and the potential for QRM to other users
will be high. As an ex G8 who learned Morse in spite of a chronic
medical condition I would say just get on a do it. The rewards are well worth
the effort. Or maybe effort is a dirty word?
