How many of your high powered linears are already ready for the
10-12-15-17-20+ meter bands?

Think there will be a big influx of truckers to the ham bands, or will
they stay put? According to some hams, there is so much hero worship of
them, you chicken banders are just watering at the mouth to get on
amateur HF's. What do you say?

Dunno, John

All I know is that when I had a problem in the 60s with a high powered am
guy that jumped on my qso, I changed to cw. We contined our chat for a good
45 minutes and couldn't even hear that kilowatt station. Nothing like a
small bandwidth and filters to go along with it. That doesn't mean that the
high power stations can't communicate; it means that they are very unlikely
to bother a couple of cw stations, regardless of power. And the voice is
not spread evenly. You can give a 50 to 1 power advantage away very easily.
Even more, if the cw stations have the proper filtering.

At 40 - 50 words per minute, we weren't giving away much in terms of
communications either LOL

Interesting thing is that cw is legal anywhere in the ham bands ....


Hey Jim, you really need to give 1750M a shot. You'd love it!

Years ago I used to do 1750. Just before I gave away my equipment I took it
out and loaded up an old AM broadcast antenna that was off the air. That was
fun until the mall security came by and asked what I was doing..

Most of the hams using linears use these types.

the ham bands, or will they stay put?


A fair number already made the switch.

It is true, plenty of worship from shamed hams (forced into internet
anonymity) toward proud cb'ers who are also hams. Lids always lose.

Mate, seriously, you come into this ng and trash cb operators and brag
you are a s/w engineer. Then your claim of being a c++/assembly writer
is supposed to impress the group. Lackies in India do the same for
pennies on the dollar. What do you use for feedline to your ant?
Regards, Jim.


Jim:

Whether you are impressed or not is no concern of mine. Trash CB'ers?
Naaa mate! My amateur equip covers the cb band quite nicely, don't mind
chatting up truckers at all!

I was just asking you all if you would be joining me on the ham freqs,
now that the CW requirement in the USA is being dropped ...

Reet but trying to impress this group with ones software knowledge isn't
going to fly on this board knowing there are some real sharp op's here.

If you are asking if more op's will utilize the amateur freq's now that
the code requirement has been abolished, well maybe, though not in
numbers that will resurrect the hobby. Personally, I couldn't be arsed
with anything other than 11 meters.

Regards, Jim.
