Hi All
Mark Vk3JMA recently commented
"If that is what is left of the spirit of experimentation then I may as
well give up trying"
No Mark, don't give up trying whatever else you do. Yeah so there are
detractors. There are always those and yeah you got a bit terse and rude
with a flip comment. Well, you've accepted publically that in hindsight
you wouldn't do it that way again. What is it they say about he who is
without sin and the first stone etc? The measure of us hams as a community
is not whether or not we are going to conflict but rather the manner in
which we resolve and rise above the conflicts I'd say.
I do have a couple of reservations on the subject only from the point of
view of the interference potential in 2.4Ghz especially in light of the
difficullty being caused (so I hear) by QRM from 2.4G LAN's to Sat
operation in the U.S. in particular where (once again so I have heard) a
couple of large corporate entities have been required to turn off their
2.4 LAN by the FCC due to interference and I understand that AO 40 is
almost a loss in some areas for same reason, although from what I hear AO
40 is not at it's best in any event these days. Also I believe an ACA
discussion paper was recently released dealing in part with 2.4gig and
interference potential although I have not read the document in question
so cannot comment further.
Once again, these are only things I have "heard around the traps" or here
say if you like, I haven't done any study on the subject (yet) and would
welcome any clarification from those "in the know".
So, I've been reading with great interest the posts by you and Barry and
the others who have contributed, please by all means keep it up and keep
us posted.
Hell, I'm a sysop and I'll state straight out that if the 2.4gig idea can
be made workable and effective within the regs I'd put a port on if the
user demand was there, and yes I realise the potential for this medium
goes far beyond the average PBBS-packet user scope as well.
Yours in Amateur Radio
