| Re: bring on the qrm Well the ham bands are not the only places in the hf spectrum that are being used. You have the NTIA with hundreds of government/defense frequencies in heavy usage daily, you have FEMA with plenty of hf usage, the airlines transoceanic flight system on hf, what about the regular shortwave bands? Ham radio only takes up aprox. 6% of the 1-30Mhz spectrum. I am happy to hear that they are notching out the ham bands, but they will still have plenty of complaints after wide area deployment. The noise floor will steadily increase with each deployment, and with skipzone more and more into play, it will spell doom. |
