Want to bet on that?
There IS in fact a proposal out now for a digiotal mode that IS 20
kHz wide for high speed data transefer on HF ham bands.
(as if Cra... er, I mean Pactor is not jamming the HF bands enough
already!)
Here it is:
On Janauary 19, 2005, John Champa, K8OCL,ARRL Chairman, High Speed
Multimedia Networks Working Group, issued the Technology Task
Force report to the ARRL Board of Directors, which includes the
following:
"At a minimum, 20 kHz wide emissions should be allowed in the
following segments:
3.58 - 3.725 MHz
7.035 - 7.125 MHz
14.065 - 14.15 MHz
21.08 - 21.2 MHz
29 - 29.7 MHz"
Obviously, a *single* HSMM transmission, 20 KHz wide, could
totally wipe out all PSK31, MFSK16, RTTY, and many CW and DX
operations on 80m, 40m, and 20m, where they are now used
worldwide. Dozens of CW QSOS could be obliterated within
one 20 kHz swath. NOT a good idea at all!
We have never seen such a lack of concern and compassion for the
majority of radio amateur activities as evidenced by the ARRL
Committee on HSMM and ARRL support for Winlink's attempted
domination of the HF frequencies, in both cases, to sacrifice the
hobby on HF for everyone else in order to favor a
very small special interest group.
I can only hope that they really are coming to their senses at the
top level of leadership, but this is cause for alarm.
JIm Haynie says that they are going to have a new band plan by
July.
I hope it is a workable one that averyone can live with.
The Winlink/Pactor mess will hopefully get reined in by this.
OK back to some fun CW contacts now, and a little less grumbling!
