[GreenKeys] Wide-Shift Wednesdays

I guess it could happen.  I just find it odd that you were bothering them
when I live in San Jose and they don't even give you any competition when
I'm copying you....... I don't even know they are there.  I guess it's all
a matter of bandwidth. If you can't crank it down you get it all........
Good call George.   They do a good service and don't screw the little
guy.............

I recently learned that WC2XPF has been causing some complaints with
WWW.SAILMAIL.COM, a Yachting e-mail service, which is one kilocycle below
us at 13971.

The proximity of the frequencies was an apparent error on the part of the
OET when 13972 was assigned.

As a courtesy to SailMail we will no longer be running 850-cycle shift on
13972.

SailMail is an non-profit association of Yacht/Sailboat enthusiasts which
allows the members access to e-mail services while at sea, through the use
of SSB transceivers, Pactor-II Modems, and Laptop Computers.

The association, and indeed, the entire system was established by a group
of radio amateurs with nautical skills and expertise who adapted their
amateur radio skills to filling a need amongst fellow Yachting
Enthusiasts.

The FCC has taken the perspective of supporting the non-profit activities
over the wishes of a for-profit group who want to do the SailMail thing,
but charge big bucks to do it!

As always, I am on the side of the little guy.

We are searching for an alternate frequency to 13972 so that in the event
we are allowed to continue, we will be a welcome augmentation to the
not-for-profit entities such as SailMail.

We will run wide shift on 6994. The schedule on WWW.RTTY.COM has been
changed to reflect the changes mentioned.

73,
