[CQ-Contest] new cw privileges

[Dale Putnam]

OK, now , bear with me while I size this up. First of all, there are new regulations on the horizon, including a change in the spread of modes, the other noted change is the introduction of BPL. There are, to me a very overwhelming condition with both of them. First, there is a lot of conversation about the mix of modes, that we are used to, during certain times, contests are one. Second, add, if yhou will, or already have, the signals of BPL. Now there are more adverse..... but are they really? More signal in the receiver to discern exactly and only what we want. 
  Now, we all agree that that isn't a very good scene to work a good score in next contest. How did if feel to try to change over to SSB from AM? This is somewhat different, and a giant leap to attain what is needed. Now what is really needed? This is the part that  I need your indulegence with:
  Many signals, no freq change...new way.  Many signals, many freq ...old way. We tune the freq to discern the signal we want. 
If there are two signals at once, on exactly the same freq. it is only the distinction of time, that allows us to discern what is desired.
Today there are already many applications of time distinction or division. Many are applied to light as the base signal. A sample of the signals applied to a time spread, with a forward projecting possibility bit image, would allow for the missed bit, complete detection of the desired signal during the non-interfered with times allows the rebuild and continuation of the desired signal, during the "lost signal" times. 
This is one paragraph of description of what is a new manner of dealing with the spectrum overcrowding. The complete description would take up a lot more bandwidth here than feasible. 
  The basic principles of TCP/IP, Pactor, DenseWaveDivisionMults, forward error correcting, and many other manners of processing intelligence can be applied and a very nifty answer bubbles up, at an oppurtune time. And, it can all be contained within a relatively small box, at a rather obtainable price. 
  So, mix the modes together... it really doesn't matter any more. 
  
Thanks for the bandwidth,

Whenever the FCC deals with the requests to drop CW as a requirement, you'll see another surge in upgrades - from Technician to General as a start. This should come in the next year - and will also impact HF contesting - perhaps initially just SSB contesting. > > -- Tom> > > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> e-mail: frenaye at pcnet.com YCCC --> http://www.yccc.org/> Tom Frenaye, K1KI, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444 > > > _______________________________________________> CQ-Contest mailing list> CQ-Contest at contesting.com> http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest
