when I get plates, I'll be in AG0NY, as it stands, I'm always in AG0NY Seannon, AG0NY

Personally, I'd say it's the QSO start time, and by start time, I wouldn't say when you start transmitting, it's the first response back from the intended station... I.E. CQ CQ CQ de AG0NY CQ CQ CQ de

from the display, possibly ALE, what was the frequency you were on? Seannon AG0NY

lol

Also, the rules regarding the center frequencies are not clear. (they are) FT8 doesn’t have a carrier. (yes it does, it's suppressed, but it's still the carrier frequency) It’s SSB suppressed carrier.

sorry, nah... AG0NY

exactly my point, we can only transmit on the 1500 hz, that's our rule, we have to follow our rules, non US hams have other rules they have to abide by.. are you saying that we do not have to stick wi

not when it's used like it is on the other bands there's only ONE spot (1500hz) we US hams can transmit on, and cannot when others are transmitting on the channel that's right there on the band chart.

PSK31 is a different mode, emission type 60H0J2B AG0NY

I see you're a director with the ARRL, GREAT, giving a "refresher" to someone on how to read an emission type is, and always will be a bit snarky, I question FT8's appropriateness much more than lack

except the R&O is not the law, CFAR is, it specifically states PACTORIII, PSK31 CW and RTTY not all iterations of these emissions codes, so, no, it's NOT clear there, but, that's my interpretation, it

Umm, I think that you missed the point... YOU are the secondary user, they don't need to tell you anything, you just follow the rules in place and monitor the frequency, keep your TX on the correct fr

the fact that we're secondary isn't as much of a big deal as we were given very specific rules to follow, 5 channels, restricted power, specifically limited emissions, and very specific instructions o

what they're saying is if you can hear someone transmitting, wait til they're done, if you transmit and can't hear them, it's unintentional, that's ok (kinda) if you transmit on a frequency, and you k

Hassan, I'm going to pick out a bit of info here... you stated that being able to use full bandwidth for SSB, but only the bandwidth of a single transmission on digital, which for this band is CW, (on

So, I've spent a while searching the FCC web... everyone knows what a pain it can be.., I'm going to drop the link here and point at a couple of sections, hopefully it will help clear this up. along w

Bonnie, with the current rules for the united states hams, I really don't think we should be doing FT8 "Business as usual" on the 60 meter band at all! the rules state that it is 1. CHANNELIZED, with

You can't really force the TX to track the RX per se, you can set it to the same by right clicking on receive in the waterfall window and there's an option for it, others have mentioned this is not ne

Also, it clearly states that no more than one station transmit at any given time thus also limiting to a conversational rather than a transactional contact type. (If you hear a conversation, don't tra
