Thanks Tom,
Yes, I understand about the jurisdiction issues. But, it's the
gentleman's agreement that has apparently broken down. This was not
a problem four/five years ago, and has gotten steadily worse -
first all the digital stuff moving down, and now the SSB.
Are you saying that the CRRL has designated the SSB subband over
the same segment as the ARRL CW subband? Where is the CRRL CW
subband? My concern was where is the CRRL/ARRL coordination (or,
why the lack thereof).
