<p>I'm not fond of these "windows".</p>
<p>I'm also not fond of the "window police" that then appear on scene to enhance communications.</p>
<p>I really wasn't fond of the encouragement to "window police".</p>
<p>Florida does this and then there is constant complaining about people in the window or on the edge of the window or whatever.</p>
<p>Also most times the mobiles can't hear each other so multiple mobiles go to a given freq and CQ and caos ensues.</p>
<p>When I'm mobile I'm not looking for a window, I'm looking for a clear freq. If I find a clear freq and it doesn't match the "window" does that mean no one is looking for me? Normally when mobile I try and go back to the same freq so those following along at home can find me. I like to go high or low to get away from the qrm so people hear me or I can hear them. Also, this way if I QSY to another mode/band when I come back it's still clear. Not true of a window.</p>
<p>Turn the dial and find people or watch packetcluster or whatever.</p>
<p>Windows suck. Just one operators perspective and experience.</p>
<p>What's next a QRP window?</p>
<p>How about a low power window?</p>
<p>How about a low speed window?</p>
<p>Hope to hear/work everyone this weekend on as many band/modes as possible... but no windows please.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Yesterday at about 2ish ,Ron ,K8NZ and I ran a test with his mobile setup from Columbus to Sandusky on 80. There was QSB on the band but at times he was 559 from his mobile using a hamstick. I was using my low (40) feet dipole.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Check 80 during the day but avoid the mobile freq of 3545!!!!</p>
