ARRL proposes 219 - 220 MHz band plan
-------------------------------------
An ad hoc committee created by the Executive Committee of the
ARRL Board has released a draft of their report. The proposed
plan would use the band on a secondary, non-interference basis
specifically for coordinated, high speed digital point-to-
point communication.
The proposal requires that no Amateur station shall cause
interference to maritime mobile, fixed stations or other
mobile licenses operating in the band. All classes of licenses
may use the band. The Amateur operation must cease if harmful
operation is not corrected otherwise.
The maximum symbol rate of 56 KBaud for codes specified in
part 97.309(a) and a maximum of 100 KHz bandwidth for codes
not specified in 97.309(a). The proposal suggests 10 100 KHz
channels starting at Channel A centered on 219.050 MHz up to
Channel J centered on 219.950 MHz.
The stated objective of the band would be for a creation of a
nationwide high speed Amateur radio data link.

Could be something for our amateurs to keep an eye on, not
necessarily on the same frequency.

Japan and USA each call district will be considered as a

Australia, Canada, Japan and the USA. Each call district in
Australia, Canada, Japan and USA will count as one (1)
additional multiplier on each band.
Scoring : Sum of QSO points x sum of multipliers equals total
score.
SWL : Use the same rules for scoring, but based on stations
and messages copied.

district ment above, if the number of QSOs is reasonable.
Logs : Logs must be received by June 10th 1994 in order to

Paper for Teleprinters
----------------------
Please, PLEASE, does anyone want some teleprinter paper, I
have boxes of it. It is triplex paper (three sheets of paper,
two sheets of carbon paper), you can have it for the cost of
freight (you pay the freight). This paper will work in any
pressure machine, or even typewriters, no good for tractor
machines. When you unroll it you finish up with three rolls of
paper and two rolls of carbon paper. The paper you can use,
the carbon -- well you can give it to the children to mess up
the house. Don't worry about the amount you want, I have
enough.
Contact Syd VK2SG, phone 02-631 2576 or ok in the call book.
