[MRCA] Digital sigs on 5357 kc

[Tim]

Hi Bob - That is a pet peeve of mine as well.  We often try to use "Channel
3" out here, mostly with PRC-47's, the only 60 meter channel those "1 kc"
sets can use on that band as you pointed out..
It seems there is almost always some digital signalling going on for hours
at a time.  JT65 I guess..

Since we are not supposed to use a frequency when someone else is using it,
it effectively ties up that very valuable channel for lots of other
people.  With their low data rate it seems to go on endlessly, a poor
utilization of that spectrum IMHO.

We can hear it out here most of the day, stronger in the afternoons.  One
guy occasionally ID's with a W4 callsign on CW.  Otherwise I can't decode
it with this equipment.

Yes, we need to share the resource but that should be a 2-way street.
