Seems to be coming lower and lower every weekend.<br /><br />Larry W2LJLarry W2LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511736425569962662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559579.post-71314893113793879272010-02-16T04:51:37.836-05:002010-02-16T04:51:37.836-05:00Hello Larry, I am not stuck to QRP frequencies. So...Hello Larry, I am not stuck to QRP frequencies. Sometimes I look there for fellow QRP-ers, but normally you can find me everywhere on the amateur bands doing all kind of different modes with QRP. This morning we had snow again, aarghr... but the first signs of spring are coming up slowly. 73 PaulPaul Stam PAØKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472039726489965017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12559579.post-64504072129937604932010-02-16T03:55:02.164-05:002010-02-16T03:55:02.164-05:00Why can't you use 7.030 for the QRP frequency,...Why can't you use 7.030 for the QRP frequency, same as here? Surely it is possible to make QRP transatlantic contacts, but not if different frequencies are being used.<br /><br />I don't get the comments being made that WSPR is "taking over" territory. By design, it will never occupy more than a fixed 200Hz of spectrum and the users run low power, so it is more likely to suffer QRM from other users than the other way round.<br /><br />I do see the potential for QRM on 7.040 from digital modes in Europe, where PSK starts around 7.035. The problem is really caused by different parts of the world having different band plans, ignoring the fact that radio waves know no boundaries. What's needed, I think, is for our international bodies to get together and draw up a new 40m band plan that takes account of the fact that more countries now have more than 100KHz on this band. If the ARRL could forget about emcomms for a minute perhaps it could do that?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984840704237681015noreply@blogger.com
