Thank you Scott! And, yes, we need to keep a clear Part 97.221(b) for any individual or agency needing to use Winlink for EmComm on our US Ham bands.?
Specifically:?
28.120-28.189 MHz,?
24.925-24.930 MHz,?
21.090-21.100 MHz,?
18.105-18.110 MHz,?
14.0950-14.0995 MHz, 14.1005-14.112 MHz,?
10.140-10.150 MHz,?
7.100-7.105 MHz,?
3.585-3.600 MHz.
Considering that our occupied bandwidth for protocols used is between 2.3KHz and 2.75 KHz, and that we share these segments with others, we don¡¯t have much wriggle room!
Lastly, a US end-user may also use RMS gateways from other countries that will appear outside these segments since they are present as a control operator (not under automatic control). This would include the RMS gateways in Canada, Mexico, ITU sponsored gateways in Central America and the Caribbean.?FYI, Steve, k4cjx
