RTTY DX Notes 28 August
RTTY DX Notes for week ending 28 August, 1992 (BID RTDX0828)
 
To refer again to the ludicrous band plans that have been listed
around the world, one must of course, hope that somewhere there will
be some intelligent agreement between such bandplans.  At the moment
this does not appear to be so.  Each region seems to be heading in a
different direction.  Let's first marry them all together so that
there is some cohesion between the regions.
 
On an observation over several weeks, I see the following pattern.
80 percent of the loudest cries of anguish come from operators who
have been on the air on RTTY/AMTOR for 12 months or less, while 10
percent of the anguish comes from people who have never used RTTY or
AMTOR (these are the CW guys).  Years ago we had a gentlemen's
agreement, which we all kept to, unless it was necessary to do
otherwise, because of the local situation of floods, etc.  So why not
now still stick to the gentlemen's agreement and not herd stations
into little blocks where you M U S T stay.  To say the least that's
ridiculous thinking.  The older operators do not seem to worry too
much about all the deliberate jamming that is taking place at present.
Maybe others will follow.
 
Our thanks this week go to DJ3IW, I5FLN, TG9VT, TI2MCL, VK2EG, VK2EJG,
WB2CJL and W2JGR and the Twin Cities packet DX cluster network.  The
bands have not been good this week, but we still get some good
reports. Thank you all againg for you assitance.
