Hi Mal,
Re your comment:-
Those shouting most and _expression_ opinions about LF and
MF are never heard on the bands.
Surely equal weight should be given to the opinions
of those who just listen or run QRP? I have been running 1W RF on the band since
January, probably well below your RX threshold, and working a couple of 'locals'
regularly. So my opinion doesn't count in your book?
Rik has come up with the most logical suggestion so
far. We really do need some sort of organisation on the band, all be it of the
'light touch' variety.
My feeling (which apparently probably doesn't
count) is, modes with long carriers should be near the band edges, ideally QRSS
near the bottom and others near the top. Filters easily resolve the issue of
QRSS being close to faster CW, as you, Mal, pointed out to me some years
ago.
Criticising suggestions is all very well, but it
would be better if such criticism was supported by reasoned argument or a better
proposal.
On another point, someone commented about the
'Subject' in e-mails to this site. I entirely agree with what was said. Not only
the mode under discussion, but it has been confusing sometimes in the past when
the band is not specified either in the 'Subject', or even the
content!
Vy 73,
Chris, G4AYT.
