Re: Upload is the same as Download! "We have several times lost all connectivity for periods of several hours"
You know what that means don't you?
It means ingress from Licensed Services.
Whenever someone within 5 miles transmitts at only 5watts in the HF band, all traffic in the area will be halted because the bit error rate will be 10 e-1 to 10 e-3 as long as the transmissions continue. Whenever they unkey, the system waits a few seconds to try and reconnect, but most transmissions occur randomly within this time, especially CW transmissions. Now look at the CB band for example, there's always someone on there within a mile of anywhere. |
