[CW] 40 meter band

Wed, 16 Jul 2003 13:26:50 -0400

But if the FCC pushes down the SSB sub-band to 7,100 kHz then the foreign
SSBers will go to 7050 kHz - and we will probably still have Canadians on
7030 kHz - and THEY already have 300 kHz to operate on.

Operating on 7030 LSB generates QRM down to 7027 kHz.

Now that is giving the General/Advanced operators only 2 kHz on 40 meters
that is "clear" of international QRM.

Not much breating space for some QSOs.

I wonder if the Canadians have complained about this 7030 LSB net?  It
really is much too low.  After all they've got 270 kHz above that frequency
to operate.

73
