(OT) Threat to 30 meters

[Thom LaCosta]

If you use 30 meters for CW there may be an unpleasent surprize on the horizon.

I've posted information about it at www.zerobeat.net

If you operate CW at low poer levels, you really should read the material.

Could you be a little more specific please?

Thom,

OK, I may be dense, but I opened the page you referenced and nothing hit me
in the face about 'unpleasant surprize' and '30 meters'.  Can you be more
specific - I just don't have the time to look through all the links on that
page to find what you seem to be inferring.

As part of the ARRL's continuing look at possible recommendations for
changes to the FCC rules governing amateur radio, there is a proposal to
have small segments of the various HF bands where wider-band (3 kHz)
bandwidth data modes could be used (WinLink is only one of the data
modes which could make use of this).
 
While nothing has been formally proposed yet and the details being
discussed have changed a bit over the past year or so, the current
thinking of the ARRL board is that the 3 kHz bandwidth would be
permitted not over the whole 30 meter band but only between
10.135-10.150 kHz (see http://www.arrl.org/announce/ec_minutes_475.html)
where I doubt there is much, if any, CW activity (data modes are
currently permitted on the whole band, but tend to exist at the upper
end--the proposed changes would LIMIT wider bandwidth to this region).

Unfortunately there is much innacurate information being circulated
about these proposals.  I see it as a positive thing, not a threat and
certainly not the end of the world.  

Most countries have much less regulation of modes and bandwidth than
does the U.S. and IMHO a loosening of our rules should be viewed as a
positive thing.
