Huh? / Re: Market Makers” Want to Expand Their Use of Shortwave?
« on: July 15, 2023, 0158 UTC »
P.S. Don't believe everything you read from the coalition who put the petition together. They are out to make a buck and bamboozle the FCC with their slick technical submission which reads like a University term paper.
Case in point ...
The image bellow is of a typical HFT. No where near 10 kHz transmitter bandwidth. Try more like 60 kHz transmitter bandwidth. Operating in a non-interfering portion of the bands ... I don't think so, at least not in this case.

It used several frequencies, with 20 kW transmit power and a transmitter bandwidth of 10 kHz.
