I saw a mention of WW convers in the link but no explanation.<br>
What is the problem you are trying to solve with WWconvers?<br>
<br>
Thanks for taking the time to explain<br>

I am lost as to the origins of WWconvers and "channelizing."
<br>
Is there a link?

The subject of "channels" has come up as applied to digital
modes as a
<br>
while, voice and data, for UHF. Each has its own bandwidth
requirements
<br>
and utilization.

<blockquote type="cite">PROPOSED WWCONVERS CHANNEL SCHEME
<br>
<br>
There are 32767 possible channels in the WWconvers with
channel 0 reserved
<br>
for a local bbs to use as it's default when users log onto
their system.
<br>
Finding other stations by area, interest or any other special
use can get a
<br>
little confusing. Some countries have settled on a scheme
where their users
<br>
can find each other based on the second number of their
assigned 44Net (AMPR)
<br>
address. For example, Greece is assigned 44.154.0.0/16 and
they can be found
<br>
on channel 154.
<br>
<br>
In the USA (because of sheer numbers of systems over the
years) the second
<br>
number in the address is typically an entire state with some
having multiple
<br>
subnets (California has 6). There has been an effort in
recent years to clean
<br>
up the numbers and subnets no longer in use and this resulted
in the range
<br>
from 44.191.0.0/16 to 44.255.0.0/16 to be sold to Amazon.
<br>
<br>
To make things easier, I am proposing a somewhat logical
layout to the
<br>
channel usage, not only by the 44Net addresses but also by
specilized
<br>
uses for activities and watering holes like HF/VHF/UHF
frequencies.
<br>
As you can see, there will be plenty of space for adhoc
arrangements.
<br>
Discussions are welcomed and encouraged as how to use this
space for the
<br>
benefit of many different groups and interests.
<br>
<br>
DEFAULT
<br>
Channel 0 – default local use and not propagated across the
WWconvers system.
<br>
<br>
REGIONAL
<br>
Channel 1 through 190 – based on second number in the
44Net/AMPR addresses
