The Tropical bands has for many years been the home of serious Dxers. There are still many challenges here for DXers and to have SSB and other utilities clutter things up would be an outrage. Amateur radio operators already have many designated HF spots. If amateur's want yet another piece of the lower spectrum then find something outside of the designated broadcast areas. How would Ham's like it if broadcasters decided to start transmitting in their areas? I'm in favour of fighting for OUR Dx rights. Dave Onley (Former VK3) onleydw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
