I think this question is kind of mute now with the government shut down.

Hi guys,

as I understand it, NASA wants as many hams as possible to send out series of half minute long carriers, for several hours, on many specific frequencies decided by NASA and covering all the most used segment of 10 meters!

To me that looks like incitation to create massive QRM!

Yes, NASA asks participants to comply with the laws. That would mean listening first, not using a frequency if it is in use, and asking if it is in use, plus IDing basically after each of the "dits" of that HI message. But will all participants do that, or will they just put their carriers atop other stations? I fear that some fellow hams, in the fever of the action, and finding "their assigned frequency" in use by some stations they only hear weakly, might choose to simply ignore them!

Let's hope that this will not happen.

Manfred
