[CQ-Contest] RM11708 and the Future

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

FWIW, I'm with Ward on this one, gang.I don't believe anyone would argue that we DON'T have problems with the wide-mode users accidentally (or not so accidentally) stepping on the narrow-mode users (be those wide modes PACTOR or WinLin, or those narrow modes PSK, WSJT, or CW).


We do.


But IMHO, we are in the short AND long term better off solving those issues OURSELVES, through training, band plans, and peer pressure -- rather than having the FCC or another government agency regulate or mandate the solutions. Why? Because the mandates may end up causing other unanticipated problems or consequences, ones that can take us years or even decades to get the agency(s) to resolve. 


Solving the issue by regulation should be a last resort. I don't think we're there yet.

And if you have not had a CW QSO ruined by a RTTY station opening up on 
your channel, you have not spent much time running CW. As I said in 
2005, most problems have behavior as their root, not bandwidth.
