[Dxspider-support] bands.pl

[Kin]

Hello,
 
Good idea, Keith.
I'm busy with other things at the moment, but I'll make a note of it in case no one else is up for it.

Asunto: Re: [Dxspider-support] bands.pl
 
I’ve been helping a number of my users to filter out FT8 spots and I’ve been setting up frequency segments for them because setting rej/spot filters for data doesn’t seem to work very well with FT8 spots getting through.
 
Looking at bands.pl, I think it’s clear why, a lot of bands don’t have the FT8 frequency specified in the data entry.
 
For example, the main FT8 frequency on 30m is 10,131.000 kHz but bands.pl has 10141, 10149.  I’m not sure if these are spot frequencies or a range from 10141-10149.
 
17m lists 18101,18108 but the main FT8 frequency for that band is 18100.
 
12m lists 24920,24929 but the main FT8 frequency is 24915
 
I know bands.pl was updated earlier this year but I think we need some more entries in for FT8/FT4, etc.  If the entries are ranges then it should be straightforward to add additional ones for FT8 and FT4.
 
My suggestions for the primary HF bands.
 
FT8:
1840,1843
3573,3576
7074,7077
10131,10134
14074,14077
18100,18103
24915,24918
28074,28077
 
FT4:
3575,3578
7047,7051
10140,10143
14080,14083
18104,18107
21140,21143
24919,24922
28180,28183
 
I appreciate that there’s slight overlap on some of these and that it won’t stop spots for DXpeditions that operate outside the normal frequencies but if we can get all these added to bands.pl as part of the data segments, it’ll really help us.

Hi,
 
It is true that there are users who limit themselves to the exclusive use of the BandMap, but others apply filters from their log/test sw, and these are generally those of the cluster used. We must not forget those who still use the command interface.
 
For a long time banding has evolved very slowly, but lately we have more bands. I would opt for a mixed model, that is, using the IARU band plan and rigorously adapting it to the de facto use of some that have carved out a niche for themselves in the spectrum. To answer, the same.
 
Now I have a first version of the plan for Region I, and it would be interesting if other users could contribute II and III Region. It is recast into a single one and we designate the typical segments.
 
Regards,
