I was listening to a net, the Old or Ole Miss Net. The phone portion is narrow: 18.110 to 18.168Mcs, 58Kcs. This Net, as I understand operates on 18.165Mcs USB Saturdays and Sundays, why on such a narrow band?
Respecting the bottom and top band edges(3Kcs) each, that leaves 52Kcs to opearte, now subtract 3Kcs for the Net and you have 49Kcs of operating room, that would be about a total of 17 Qso's USB possible every 3 Kcs.
Is it imperative to have a Net on 17 meters? How about 12 meters?
I suppose the next item to come along will be Contesting on 12/17/30 meter bands, it's prohibited now, what about the future?"
