[arrl-odv:28620] Fwd: Re: Remarkable improvement in WINLINK operators' regulatory compliance

I am sure all of you have received and read Gordon's very detailed e-mail sent out a couple of days ago. He has a couple of specific questions that he would like answered listed below. I'm not an expert in JS8, other than knowing it's experimental, and apparently another mutation of FT8, specifically designed for sending keyboard-to-keyboard text messages, and could be useful in Emcomm applications. Can somebody answer as to what our position is on these questions? 73; Mike W7VO -------- Original Message ---------- From: Gordon Gibby <docvacuumtubes@gmail.com> To: Michael Ritz <w7vo@comcast.net> Date: August 23, 2019 at 10:05 AM Subject: Re: Remarkable improvement in WINLINK operators' regulatory compliance Thank you for the information!

Hi Mike, As far as I know our rationale was a two part resolution. One was putting everyone who is automated into ACDS only segments. Two was to then expand ACDS segments but make that expansion away from other modes like CW or JT/FT. With this came the removal of the 300 Band limit. Part one is what we passed at the meeting. Part two is going to be worked on. In my opinion this is a good compromise. Regarding JS8Call it is primarily a keyboard mode but also has message forwarding capabilities.

Thanks, Ria. It figures that at least one experimental protocol would get caught under the "broad brush". I think idea is to have new protocols developed that will fit within the rules, before the Pandora's box of wideband digital signals opens further. I don't think that JS8 is used much at all at present. 73; Mike W7VO
