I think we should make the best practices document wording a little simpler and include a simple table that shows amateurs where to operate. We should make the CW operation requirement very clear, something like, Per FCC rules Only one CW station can transmit at a time per channel and must transmit exactly on the Channel Center frequency. (actually this statement could be made for all the modes but CW begs the clarifying statement) 97.303 states PSK31 on the Carrier freq but the recommended document states Center freq? Am I reading this correctly?? Simple table: 60M Operating Frequencies Table xx Channel Phone (USB) PSK31 or PACTOR III CW 1 5330.5 kHz 5330.5 kHz 5332.0 kHz 2 5346.5 kHz 5346.5 kHz 5348.0 kHz 3 5357.0 kHz 5357.0 kHz 5358.5 kHz 4 5371.5 kHz 5371.5 kHz 5373.0 kHz 5 5403.5 kHz 5403.5 kHz 5405.0 kHz Thoughts? 73, Greg, W4OZK From: arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ Sent: Saturday, February 11, 2012 2:24 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:20544] Recommended practices for 60 meters In accordance with the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Band Planning Committee, the Executive Committee has unanimously authorized a mail vote of the Board on the following resolution: Resolved, that the Board of Directors approves the "Recommended Practices for 60 Meters - Version 6.4" developed by the Ad Hoc Band Planning Committee.
