[GreenKeys] Problems on Proposed Autostart Frequency 10.133

[Frederick A Sell]

Gang,
	I've been lurking for a bit on this "autostart net" project.  I am not
that active on the air so I will not be a major player in the net, but
some comments:

	A.  NO .5 Kc channels.  Whoever came up with that a while back should be
shot!  It requires people with some commercial and military gear to take
a back seat as some of us do not have "modern" DC to Daylight radios with
1 cycle readout.  I believe it started with the idea of 2.5 Kc channels
because of typical SSB bandwidth.  Not a bad idea at first thought, I
might not even care if I had a new radio!!
	On a similar note I cannot use my only radios capable of 60 meters
because of this "center of channel" bit, lets just use the dial or window
frequency and leave it at that.
	B.  10.137 Kc is our (Clatternet) frequency.  Saturday mornings,  USB,
850 cycle shift, Mark low.  Net moves to 7087 Kc at times for propagation
reasons.  Like any other freq. these are not "ours" so could be used if
all other options fail.  Please join us if you can, most participants use
military mechanical gear but anything is welcome.
	3.  As others have said, lets not turn this into a tech fest.  If people
what to send "private" messages badly enough let them use e-mail.  Lets
just get this vintage stuff on the air, as my friend Chris K6FIB coined
"It's the clatter that matters".

Another country heard from.

Thanks for your time,

snatched from the jaws of the crusher, yet to be resurrected. (Now where
did I leave that polar relay?)
