- Why is there no 10 meter activity?? Is it because of the band openings? If
- so, how do you know when the openings are good?? 10 meters seems to have
- become or is a dead band.

- You might want to take this up with the ARRL. They may have investigated

-
- I would think it's OK. It doesn't really carry any information by itself;
- it's more like a checksum, and checksums are already used in packet.
-
- You couldn't encode the message itself, of course.
