David, K2WPM
One of
the K2 coordinators claimed there is an FCC rule
prohibiting more than one transmission per mode per band
at same time.
I was
not able to find such a rule, but I was reminded of this
rule, which is pertinent:
?
97.119
(d)
When?transmitting?in?conjunction?with?an?event?of?special?significance,?
a?station?may?substitute?for?its?assigned?call?sign?a?special?event?call?sign?as?shown?
for?that?station?for?that?period?of?time?on?the?common?data?base?coordinated,?maintained?
and?disseminated?by?the?special?event?call?sign?data?base?coordinators.?
Additionally,?the?station?must?transmit?its?assigned?call?sign?at?least?once?per?hour?during?such?transmissions.?

I¡¯m
not crazy about having more than one op per
band/mode on the last day. I think it¡¯s unnecessary
on phone and CW. It would be a disaster on FTx, as
you suggest.?
40
phone was a trudge this morning but one guy said I
gave him the clean sweep so that made my time
worthwhile.?
Looks
like the weather will let me operate this afternoon.
Yay!
David,
is there a file name you would like us to use for
the adi log we send you? I should remember but
don¡¯t.?

First, thank you to all who have
been operating tirelessly to field the huge volume of
contacts this year.
Special shout-out to Chip, N2YO, who apparently
operated all night ... at 35 wpm, last night!?
Unbelievable.
Question for the group.
It's a tradition that the final day is a free-for-all,
meaning each colony can have more than one op on a
band, same mode, at the same time; no rules really.
Except not for digital modes, as that would be too
confusing (right, digi ops?)
I don't care for this; other states field many folks
and it really clogs the bands, but I have not been
able to convince the boss to stop it.
What do K2B team members think?? Would appreciate any
thoughts.
I suppose ultimately it will be whatever each
individual wants to do.
Also, after the event is over, I'd appreciate if you
could email me your log in adif or Cabrillo format, at
your earliest convenience.?
I will summarize and circulate K2B results as well as
13 Colonies overall summary.
Then we'll talk about K2B bling.
Many thanks,
David, K2WPM
