[OZAPRS] 40m good but wierd

[Ray Wells]

David,

I don't understand your question. If you're referring to aprs, I'm not 
sure that it's internationally agreed. 7036.5 falls in the narrow mode 
segment of the band in Region 1. Region 3 has a different band plan and 
I've not checked Region 2 for a while so can't recall what it told me.

But how does that affect me, not running aprs on 40m?
