Subject: Miss Manners in the Novice Sub-bands?
To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
The higher class licenses have privilleges in those bands, so they can
use them. But what make you think they are not a novice or tech? Your
post did not indicate that they were clearly a higher class, just that
they used higher speed code. I've worked novice/techs that had no problem
with my code speed. And I've worked other extras in the novice bands.
I've also found some nice DX around 21.140, both calling cq and answering
mine.
During novice roundup, I will go and spend some time trying to hand out
contacts. So many extras would answer my cq that I had to sign /E.
Sometimes, especially on 80, one is limited by the antenna. Perhaps one
or both could only get down to the novice sub band because his antenna
was cut for the phone band. So CW contacts on the 80 novice sub band
was all they could do.
I guess the short answer to your question is there is not an accepted
practice of not using the novice sub band if you have a higher class
license. Except, of course, on 40 meters.

To: info-hams@ucsd.edu
A friend of mine who is a member of the URI Ham Club
wants to contact people in India via ham radio.
He says that he has not been able to contact any
one so far. If you have been able to talk to people
in India, he will be delighted to hear from you.
If you wish to respond, please send him email
at: macinnes@ele.uri.edu (Craig Macinnes)
Please do not respond to this account.
Thanks in advance.
Ramli.

I did indeed say that the bells & whistles part of the OMNI VI doesn't apply
to the discussion, Paul. But the receiver quality between the V and the VI
is basically the same -- DSP has nothing to do with that. The point is that
the OMNI V (and VI) are some of the best basic receiver designs around, IF
you can satisfy your SW needs with the Sony.

Can you center the CW filters on the DSP-9 to the frequency of your choice?
I prefer to listen to a 400 Hz note instead of the usual 700 or 800 Hz.
