[TenTec] Jupiter/Orion on 60 Meters

[AC5E at aol.com]

According to the latest TenTec updates to include 60 will be posted before 
July 3. 

And let me add that for the time being at least, it would be by far the most 
prudent course to set your transmit bandwidth at 2400 Hz, or less - put the 
channels in memory 1400 Hz below the channel center frequency, and make sure you 
aren't putting more than 50 Watts into the feedline. 

The Bureaucrats, we used to call 'em "wet blankets" back on the reservation, 
in the NTIA are primarily responsible for the few and limited frequencies we 
were allocated. The Callused Bottoms in Yaptown on the Potomac don't like the 
FCC's allocating some of their frequencies to ham radio any more than we like 
it when Uncle Charley allocates a part of a ham band to wind profiler radar. 

So you can bet your last beaver hide the wet blankeys will be listening for 
any discernable signal either above or below the assigned channel, any hint of 
anything other than SSB, etc., etc..  So if you have a CW IDer turn it off 
before you fire up on 60. 

If we are good little boys and girls we can go back after  the dust settles 
and ask for more frequencies and more modes. If not, the Bureaucrats will go 
crying back to the FCC and say "We told you so, yank their priveleges."  So 
let's all work together and win this thing.
