[Boatanchors] Digital Around 7050kc

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi Bill,

My own scientific wild eyed guess (SWEG) has two parts. Most likely 
those are different modes. I don't know why they would have to be on 
other frequencies but I am NOT a digi fan. Second and probably less 
likely is simply ignorance on the part of new users. I do mess around 
with some of those modes but they give me the intense gratification of 
*rag chew* QSOs that do not fit in cans.

Of course there always a few LIDs around who just do not care. But that 
applies to *all* modes.

73,

Bill  KU8H
