I'm wondering if it would not make more sense on 40 meters to have RTTY contesting up in the traditional .80 to .100 segment of the band rather down in the 7030 to 7050 CW portion where we have to co
You can expect some disagreement from AK hams who are authorized to use SSB in the 40M segment from 7.075 to 7.100 Mhz. I believe the authorization was made to accomodate potential emergency use, but
EU stations would not agree either since that is allocated to phone there also, not to mention other countries right here in NA _______________________________________________ RTTY mailing list RTTY@
IARU Region 1's bandplan limits RTTY to well below the segment you mention, Gordon. If we'd go where you suggest then we'd be talking to ourselves most of the time... 73, Erik - K5WW ________________
Just noticed these comments about the placement of RTTY on 40 metres. In the UK, our bandplan says that we operate RTTY in the 7030 region. We have been upsetting the QRP CW guys for some time, espec
The Region 1 bandplan at http://www.iaru-r1.org/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=173&func=startdown&id=67 shows: 7000 - 7040 CW only 7040 - 7050 Digital modes only 7050 - 7200 All modes RTTY co
Should have checked my bandplan first!!! Hand before brain again. John is correct of course. However, in "practice" it is somewhat different. Unfortunately the plans are not adhered to rigidly and th
Since SSB typically requires more than 25 times the bandwidth of a CW signal (100 Hz vs. 2700 Hz), a more "fair" division of the available 200 KHz would be 7000 - 7035 for CW, 7035-7070 for RTTY (da
And then there is IARU Region 3 with their own bandplan: 7025 - 7040 kHz NB NB: Narrow band modes including CW, RTTY, Packet and modes with similar bandwidth not exceeding 2 kHz. 73, Goetz, DJ3IW ___
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: A further complication is that JA stations are limited to below 7045. This makes the "sweet spot" fall between 7040-7045, just 5 kHz. 73, Bill W6WRT _________________________
Actually the basic premise of this entire discussion is quite wrong. It is the CW and the Digital section of the band. It of course does differ from Region to Region but in the US it is both CW and D
Telecommunication laws differ in each country and determine what frequencies licensees can transmit on. For example, US hams can use CW or digital from 7000-7125 on 40m. Japanese hams are only allowe
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REPLY: In the US, there is no CW portion of any of the HF contesting bands. CW is allowed anywhere in any of the bands except 60 meters. There IS a RTTY portion, however. 73, Bill W
