[Moon] 144.070-144.160MHz digital EME band?

[Lars Pettersson]

I have been QRV on EME since 1979.
We have had a fantastic comunity with hamspirit.
This part of the hobby are really technic demanding, were
some build there own euqipment and so forth.
After the rise of the JT65 modes im affraid that this has dissapered. No one 
needs any big antennas. A friend of mine connected his 5/8 vertical on the 
window side, and checked his computer he made many qsos, but was this for 
real? Sure it must have been deepsearch and this magic fantastic software, 
that NO one could say anything bad about.......

WHY is this so fragile to talk about?

If you guys that likes working your QSO?????? with help off the harddsik and 
Internet connection do that.and be happy.

But you should never be compiled with us that works the QSO`s the real 
way!!! listning with your ears and decode..

I have talked to qutite a number of Old EME´rs that have said that they will 
not be back due to this digital Shit!!!
Exactly this words did i type at Mr W9IP moon site many years ago and was 
banned,,, Why????  becouse no one should say something bad about MR Joe 
Taylors fantastic software, And see with facit in my hand what 
happend!!!!!!!!!!

I have to appologize for my spelling but im a Dumb Swede.

>> Joe writes something about the whole digital EME band

>>
>> Whatever, to my knowledge 2m CW band in EU goes from 144.000-144.150MHz

>> If there is some digital traffic in this segment it does not bother me

>>
>> I know some people like to banish CW in the garbage edge of the band
>> (144.000-144.030 MHz)...
>>
>> So I do not agree with this attempt to take over 90KHz of the band for
>> digital use and leave the rest for CW (maybe just 20KHz usable).
>> Again, these decisions are not to be done by single persons!
