Re: 17m
If they operate at 18.110 , which is end of digital/RTTY band - Yes , if any OO's are paying attention. The rule reads 18.068 - 18.110 is RTTY, data, but is clarified further down the page as: 97.307(F) Only a RTTY, data or muliplexed transmission using a specified digital code listed in 97.309(b) of this Part may be transmitted.The symbol rate must not exceed 19.6 kilobauds. A RTTY, data or multiplexed emission using an unspecified code digital code under the limitations in 97.309(a) of this Part also may be transmitted The authorized bandwidth is 20 kHz. Have an older copy of Part 97, so this wording may have been changed.??? On SSB many get "caught" by operating on 14,350 because the bandwidth of a SSB signal is a tad over 3 KHZ and on 14.350 that would put their modulation products at 14.353; running a KW amp which is overdriven and splattering would put a station even further out of band. So it's always a good idea to leave your signal a "guard band" to insure you're in the proper part of the band. On SSB , it would be 3.5 kHz above/below band edge. Best to read Part 97 yourself and get a big city lawyer to translate ![]() Jerry n9avy Part 97 reads 18.068 - 18.110 From: Randy True <w4rttrandy@...> To: 070Club@groups.io Sent: Tuesday, January 2, 2018 1:08 PM Subject: Re: [070Club] 17m As an aside, you mean allll those FT8 signals at 110 are gonna get OO cards, Hi Hi

If you go to 18.110+ 1400 you will be OUT OF BAND !!!!
Read your Part 97.307(f), please . 18.110 + 1400 will put you out of band and you'll probably get a Official Observer Advisory Notice.
