We’re back at 7Pac/10East for One Night Only (scheduling). And yes, it’s the Big Whoop Episode 500, but Episodes are just a number.
Another number is 2.8, as in 2.8 kHz. The FCC has a draft Report and Order that the Commission will vote on at their November 15 meeting. If they pass it (they will), the old ‘300 baud’ data rate limit will be dust on HF, and a 2.8 kHz bandwidth limit will take its place. But there are details (we love details).
Here’s a link to that FCC meeting announcement (and it’s link to the November 15 video):
