- Heh, heh, Jeff, our friends from VU2-land may not take kindly to your
- placing K2 in Pakistan.
-
- My little pocket atlas puts K2 in Kashmir. It also gives a height
- of 8611m for K2. The same atlas gives 8848m for the height of Everest.
- But, what's 200m between friends, eh? Barely one wavelength on top band
- :-).
-
- The two peaks are not that close to one another, unless you think that
- Boston (I know lots of K2s in Boston :-) is close to Cleveland.

- Yes, but Part 97 says: 97.3(c)...
-
- (4) MCW. Tone-modulated international Morse code
- telegraphy emissions having designators with A, C, D, F, G, H or R as the
- first symbol; 2 as the second symbol; A or B as the third symbol.
-
- (5) Phone. Speech and other sound emissions having
- designators with A, C, D, F, G, H, J or R as the first symbol; 1, 2 or 3
- as the second symbol; E as the third symbol. Also speech emissions having
- B as the first symbol; 7, 8 or 9 as the second symbol; E as the third
- symbol. MCW for the purpose of performing the station identification
- procedure, or for providing telegraphy practice interspersed with speech.
- Incidental tones for the purpose of selective calling or alerting or to
- control the level of a demodulated signal may also be considered phone.
-
-
- Note the last 4 lines of sub-paragraph (5). Although MCW is A2, or
- probably F2 in most cases, it is considered to be a phone emission
- when used for IDs.
