Hi all..
For anyone interested in ROS, a couple of US stations have been given some Testing Permission...
Experimental station, WF9XJD, will be making spread spectrum transmissions based on the following schedule:

Re: US Station testing ROS..
Interesting info John. The ROS debacle and the USA The mistake was originally referring to the mode as 'spread spectrum' so the FCC instantly declared it illegal. Then the designer explained it wasn't actually spread spectrum (which it's not)... too late!
