Topband: TB digital

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

Tom,

I problem is the IARU region 1, 2 and 3 band plans do not line up. The region 1 160 band starts at 1.810Mhz so the IARU Region2 pansis useless for DX digital communications. All regions should align modes.

If ALL l regions decide on 1830 to1840 for digital modes we should follow the recommendation.

Digital modes are the future. It will give those hams who have limited real estate and monetary resources to enjoy the topband.

I'm not surprised some of us don't know the band or history of use, or have 
not read IARU bandplans. What I wish we could do, is be a little nicer to 
each other as we learn things from each other.
