That was SM6BHZ on 508kHz LSB
Quoting M0FMT <[email protected]>:
Hi Graham Geri and all
Warren has seen SSB first hand on the MF QRG and we have this side
also.There was an SM station (call sign forgotten?) in the early
days of 500 that added an SSB anouncement on his beacon and it
worked well.
To my spec. :- "One SSB channel at the high edge of the band only
used during daylight hours no DXing!" add " Use VOX, no
monologuing allowed" to be a laissez faire operation no band plan,
but fair play!.73 es GL es HNY Pete M0FMT IO91UX

800 Hz B/W ... May be this is something
'Wolf' can code for you ? a b/w compression
/ expansion module in SL , to limit the tx b/w
to 800 Hz must be possible to divide
by 3 and mult by 3 with a linear
shift as well ?

Hi,
I kind of like the idea of an SSB channel. I just
pulled out the conditions of my first secial license for 160m from
1973 or 1974.
That said 1815 to 1835 kHz with 10 Watts in CW, additionally one SSB
channel for
1832 to 1835 kHz, so why not trying this on 630m, too? Here in Germany we are
currently limited to 800 Hz bandwidt but I am sure we can sork
towards a special
license under certain conditions such as daylight operation only .. sounds
good to me!

Hi Pete
Its quite obvious that the allocation is quite able to
support normal armature activity , and why not ? its no
longer a experimental allocation , its just the same as 10
or top band , un expected results today though ! ssb sounds
odd , may be as the path is stable , sstv ? must be a
narrow mode , and the 'new' digital voice is 2KHz , but
that requires a linear Tx path
As for the band edge
I'm straining to find a engineering reason , that wspr
and qrss has decided to run mid band ? Im sure users had a
reasonable discussion at the introduction of the band , to
place the modes at the edges , with live cw a the lower
portion ? its well know that these long carrier modes
cause disruption to other band users and are well placed
at the band edges , 'vanity beacons' is a term I have
seen noted in referral, as occupancy increases , by users
not linked or even aware of discussions taking place on
these groups , i'm sure there will be problems leading to
the introduction of band plan's , for some the plans
form part of the licence conditions ..
Is Opera a vanity system ? , actually no, it compliments
ros- data mode in that the ave s/n readings can be used
to determine if a path will support the data mode ,
each having the same averaging s/n reading taken along
the time line ,

Hi all
One SSB channel at the high edge of the band only used during
daylight hours no DXing!

Quite intriguing propagation on this 'new' band
From some unexpected early 600 mile + Opera decodes
last night , to several wspr TA decodes , [G8's again
..] to today's test with Gary using USB-SSB voice ,
Where as at 1300z we had 5/9 signals each way as
expected over 25 miles , GI3PDN Ray , called on CW ,
to give a report of 5/9 across the Irish Sea , some
100 miles for our two signals , his CW also in the
5/9/9 region, one wonders how far inland the signals
travelled ?
After a short 3 way qso, we closed the test round 1330z
, may not of been quite as sociable after dark , but
with a small Ae , 40 x 70 ft iv L and 35 ft Top load
vert , 50 watts pep , results defiantly superior to
say 160 mtrs using the same Ae's
