I cannot believe the holder of a valid ham radio license would ever come out and say this ....

This provides protection for weak-signal enthusiasts. Wide-band segments should allow 200 kHz maximum bandwidth between 29 and 225 MHz. WHAT PROTECTION FOR WHO ?????? EXPLAIN THIS ? WHO WOULD BE PROTECTED ????? Some digi moron who would sit on 29.600?, 50.125? or 144.200 ? Here we go again 90% of those bands for 1% of all hams ..... Do you think anymore than the analog morons that sit on calling frequencies and destroy them for all others that adding digital would help weak signal work? Do you think 200 kHz wide signals on bands under 2 MHz or 4 MHz wide is a good use of BAND SPACE? Lets not go there with you will not even hear the " RISE IN BACK GROUND NOISE" power has to go SOMEWHERE ..... and if legal they could not be stopped. How come no one has address my posting about the many MHz of UNUSED space above 219 that you already have? We as non digital users have right too and no where do I see any protections for existing users only placing non compatible mods on already well used bands while UNUSED bands sit empty. Bruce Like D-Star ( DEATH-STAR ) demanding repeater pairs here in Florida with ZERO usage of the 3 here in tampabay how crowed is 223 and 440 MHz are you out of room? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
