[600MRG] Dedicated WSQcall dial frequency?

[John Langridge]

So as I commented to Steve in a direct email, I personally don't think
there is a problem pushing WSQ up to 477 but others may have better cause
to say otherwise.    I said 476 earlier because that's where WSQ has been
used in NA so far.  I think the concern was that moving up high in the band
might interfere with phone activity but based on the stats that I have here
you can count the number of unique phone QSO's that have been completed on
less than both hands - its not wide spread.

My original comments referenced Brian's interest to put the tones around
474.5 which is close to JT9 and active with CW but I did and still do
support using a *dial freq* like 474.5 or 475.5.. you just have to figure
out what makes most sense for the tone freqs.. whether its 476 or 477
doesnt matter to me down here but I don't have the activity density problem
that some places do...

73,
