Marty,
Thanks for correcting my mis-take of what you meant. I have replied to all
the reflectors but some are not ones I subscribe to and so were bounced
back.
I also see what you mean about it may be difficult to find any nearby
frequency and why staying on 7.260 would be better. Would moving quite a bit
farther up than 7260 and announcing it work, like 7.285 or just to go with
7.260? I am not sure of what if any other nets are on at that time.
73,
Rob K9AIM

Rob:
I'm the one that wrote to John, merely to let him know, for his own
edification, that the NC QSO Party was going to be happening on the same
day as the TT net, and that ON OR AROUND 7260KHz was the announced NCQP 40M
SSB frequency.
AT NO TIME did I request, mention, elude to, require, or even hint, that the
TT net move to another frequency. John, ON HIS OWN, subsequently decided to
move the TT net, even after follow up discussions with me that this was not
necessary.
I MADE NO REQUEST THAT THE NET FIND ANOTHER FREQUENCY.
I don't think John really understands how QSO Party contests work in context
with the "announced frequency". The NCQP makes no claim to own or have
priority over ANY FREQUENCY! He moved the net on his own accord because he
seems to think the whole QSO party will be conducted like a net, on 7260.
This announced frequency is, in fact, just a loose approximate location
where all NC stations spread out around to call CQ and work stations in the
contest. A "pin on a map" so to speak.
I couldn't convince John that the BEST THING FOR THE NET TO DO IS TO STAY ON
7260!!! The only difference is that he needs to be aware that the QRM will
be much higher tomorrow, and that everyone has to kind of put up with it and
play nice! THAT'S ALL!
I brought this conflict of frequencies to John's attention ONLY as a
courtesy to him that he have the best situational awareness possible.
If you could forward this response to the other reflectors that you copied
in your original message (I only subscribe to the Eagle list) I would
appreciate it.
Kind Regards
Marty Young / W4MY
Chairman, NC QSO Party

When John wrote he agreed to give the NC QSO party the frequency, I don't
think he meant he felt he or our net owns the frequency (nor for that matter
that the NC QSO party does), just that he was accommodating their request
that our net find an alternative frequency this week. He could have replied
to them that they did not own the frequency but only have an equal right to
it - but that would have created bad conditions for all parties involved and
probably some bad feelings.
There probably are as you say some nets under the misguided understanding
that they own particular frequencies, but what they really mean is they have
enough numbers to force others to QSY or endure heavy QRM

I hate to spoil everyone's fun, but the frequency is not yours to give away.
we all have equal right to any freq we are licensed for. I love Ten Tec and
have an Orion and have owned corsair II's and Pegasus, triton delta, century
21 and more, but I still don't own any frequency, contrary to what the folks
at 14.230 and 14.300 think. ( unless they declare an emergency and request
a freq stay clear.) I'm just sayin.. tom N6AJR

The North Carolina QSO Party had planned their all day event for February
24th on 7.260 LSB a long time ago, prior to my starting up the TEN-TEC nets
last April 2012, after several years of no TEN-TEC nets.
I have agreed to allow Marty W4MY and their Group to have 7.260 for their
event. We shall see how active the 40 meter band is and I will move our 40
meter TEN-TEC net either 5 kHz up or down from 7.260.
Our 40 meter net starts at 20:00 UTC and the 20 meter net follows at 21:00
UTC on 14.325 USB. It would be a good thing for all of our net members to
give the NC QSO Party a checkin prior to our net. Thank you.
