[Elecraft] [Elecraft]KRC2 first!

With discrete, 2.8 Khz channels, it looks like CW will be either
discouraged or not allowed.  And even with only 50 watts ERP I suspect
propagation would extend over significant territory at night which means
that very few simultaneous QSOs will be practical.  I sort of doubt that
many will be rushing to these allocations, but I guess we will see.  I
am a member of AF MARS and so my radios could get on those frequencies
when they are available.  But I think I'm going to do a lot more
listening than transmitting, at least until things shake out a bit.  On
the other hand, I have had a lot of experience operating in the mid to
high 4 Mhz region (MARS frequencies).  The QRN is every bit as bad as 75
meters in the summer so I don't know how useful the assignments will be
with the rather severe power limits imposed, especially if we are really
limited to primarily SSB which needs a much better S/N ratio than CW.

++++++Wow...five fixed channels and USB only.  That's more restrictive
than CB, isn't?++++++
