"Steam-RTTY" is Chen's affectation for 45.45 baud 170 Hz shift Baudot RTTY. We use it with respect and affection! It is an aulde modulation that has stood the test of time. 73 Kai Steam-RTTY REPLY: H
I am definitely not the first to use it. I plagiarized it from someone decades ago. Formally (like in the ARRL Handbook chapter) I have been calling it "Amateur RTTY." I am also not the first one to
Chen The FCC have also stated that Note 23 on page 11 of ARRL filing: "As the commission noted in Mark Miller, supra, changing the rules to prohibit a communications technology that is currently in u
I disagree. When the Commission adopted 97.221 establishing 500 Hz for automatically controlled stations (mid 1980's - I wish I remembered exactly when) 850 Hz shift had not been used regularly for
I can see the attractiveness of setting 2200 Hz in 97.307(b)(3) (assuming '221 does not get altered in this go round after the FCC lawyers are done with the petition), it is almost precisely the same
Just for the records, If you won't follow the arguments of those 'experts' - you are also welcome to file a comment that you are perfectly fine with the proposal from our league. There're always nays
It will just open the door to experiment and develop new modes - this is ham radio. The door is not closed to developing new modes. The most popular of new modes, PSK31, JT65, JT9, and WSPR have all
If one *must* provide an accommodation for the 2200 Hz garbage systems, the way to do it is to make the bandwidth limit 2200 Hz only in the automatic control subbands while making the standard 500 H
That's part of the problem. Without these limitations we can realize modes nobody thought of till today. Nonsense. Ham density in many countries is much higher than in the US. Even more when taken i
The ARRL has steadfastly ignored the problem of automatic stations without busy frequency detectors, which blindly transmit over QSOs already in progress. Allowing automatic stations to employ even w
We don't *need* those wider bandwidth modes for either radioteletype (user to user) communications or amateur "data" (bulk transfer) uses. The *only value* of wider bandwidth signals is to carry mor

Wow, now we're not only mispresenting the facts - finally we need the help of some conspiracy theory. Absurd. Stan _______________________________________________ RTTY mailing list RTTY@contesting.c
No misrepresentation - look at the members of the "ad hoc committee" - two WinLink insiders and *no* RTTY users or other independent experts in amateur data communications. Res Ipsa Loquitor (Latin

All, THE CURRENT DISCUSSION IS NOT PRODUCTIVE!!! We now know we have a league position troll......... no call, no ID, maybe not even a real person. My humble advice is to totally ignore him/her/them
Joe, To distill what you've said several times down to a single sentence, innovation in amateur radio digital modes should be limited to doing the same with less, not doing more with the same. While
Stan don't take this the wrong way but if the ARRL wants support from hams then they need to support us not work against us. Did they put it up to the membership or ham community at large before they
If Winlink is good for sailors to download emails, why not do it on 14.300 where the boat crowd hangs out. 73 Tom W7WHY As far as a war on Winlink, they earned in spades the bad rep they have. Poor o
Stan, Check it out for yourself. Here's what I did to see where these guys were pointing... Pull up Document 26 from the ARRL web site. There are 5 names on that. The bottom 3 are the ARRL's CEO, law
John, Fortunately, I ended up talking to 3 regional ARES mid level guys and a senior MARS guy today - all who helped me line it out very clearly what this mode family is good for - and what it's not.
