I notice they are planning to operate on 160 at 1826.5 and listen down for JA and up for others.

This used to be "clever" when JA's could not transmit about 1825.  However, that hasn't been the

case for several years now.  I am wondering if they still haven't heard the news.

It is similar to the DX windows that never die at 3795 and 14195 that were added to

the US phone subband decades ago.

I think that we have no choice but to accept what is offered, as always.  It is not within our ability to tell anyone what to grant.

But them being on low power will cripple the pistol stations who need more signal to hear, to get their ATNO.  It will already be a madhouse and weak signals (more repeats) will only make it worse.

It is akin to ONLY working within the Extra class license space, eliminating a good portion of the US ops; not inclusive at all.

3Y0J will only have the noise that they bring with them, THEY will be able to hear.  However, by not running amps, they will only be able to be heard by those in a quiet environ, with large antennas (directional gain), the big guns and not easily.

IF they opt for other digital modes (PSK, RTTY) at high power, that would be more fair.  Why go all that way, the troubles, the challenges, difficulties and expense, to eliminate the digital mode (essentially) for a greater number of ops?  Only a few have that kind of quiet to hear by comparison to the general ham population.

It is a poor choice if this is held.  Besides, they'll want the amp heat for their operating space.  😉  It should be reconsidered.

The 3Y0J team has updated their plans:

FT8 on bands 10-40 meters only.
No amplifiers will be used on FT8. They will always be running F/H which means 20-30 watts each stream. Will low power FT8 reach the West Coast?
