Topband: FW: Proper Decorum On The "Gentleman's Band"...

[n0ah.ham Paul Veal]

It would be great if a firm volunteer band plan would be created and 
supported to spare us all the grief of overlapping modes- One that would be 
up to date on today's technology and various international band allocations- 
It just seems from 1.800-1.850, the overlap continues between contesting, 
DX'ing, and modes of operation......while all the SSB ops up above 1.900MHz 
seem to have it figured out-

Soon we will be facing problems on Top Band, like one famous IT9 fellow on
3795 is creating ....
Sad story.

Sigh - even Top Band is going the way of 75 meters and 20 meters, it would
seem....

Hey, it's even worse as a QRP type operator, trust me but........then again,
anyone crazy enuff to operate QRP on Top Band (raising hand to waive)
deserves some extra grief, 'eh?

BUT - I am SO glad to be able to be on Top Band, operating QRP,
participating in the contests and working towards QRP WAS on 160 (need SC,
CT, ME and VT) - it doesn't get any better than this!

72 to all - Jim Rodenkirch, K9JWV
