[Lowfer] GROUP ROUNDTABLE

[k2ors at verizon.net]

Hi Charlie,

        First, thanks for organizing this!  I'm not sure that there were any Generals in the group maybe we don't have to worry about that.
Since the FCC pushed the limit for phone down to 3600 on 75m there are LOTS of clear frequencies !
 In fact it may be a bad sign that there are so many dead spots on the band these days...

Your 100watts made it fine here on 75, much much better than your signal on 40m.  
If you dig out your amp you'll have plenty of headroom for when the summer T-storm season arrives...

===========================================

Guys all I wanted to do was get together as a group and chat .I was just 
trying to include as many people as possible and that's why I stayed in the 
General bands . I could have said 10 meters to include the Technicians , and 
that band would work on rare occasion .

Most of you have brought up the reasons that I no longer work phone . 
Broadcast stations on 40 , everyone on 75 seems to have a frequency that 
they think they own .

I just wanted what would work the best for the most people . I was running 
100 watts into a different G5RV at 50 feet last night .Yes I do have an amp 
I can dig out and will if it will help communicate with everyone .

I was operating under the highest QRN that I will probably be willing to be 
on the air with thunderstorms in the area . My QRM with the filters on the 
TS-2000 was very minimal .

No HF frequency will work for everyone all of the time .

It isn't worth causing a problem among the members of these fine groups.
