[Elecraft] FCC Proposes to Permit Amateur Access to 2200 and 630 Meters

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

There's a website where you can listen to samples of all the modern digital 
signals.   I found it really fascinating to hear all those weird beeps and 
squeals of today's modes, even if I didn't want to actually use them.  It 
allowed me to at least identify what I was hearing as either a real signal 
or just some strange RFI from a noisy device.  Back in the 80's when I was 
playing with Baudot RTTY or Amtor, that's all there was and it was simple to 
tell the difference.  Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the site, but it 
should be easy enough to find.

73, Charlie k3ICH
