I think there's an article on it in the new QST. Got the mag yesterday but didn't go through much it last night.

As decided by WRC-03, we get the upper part of 40 meters back this month, world-wide! It almost seems like very few want this information disseminated, I almost fell out of my chair after bringing in the latest issue of ER in from the mailbox. I thought it was NEXT year. Nothing to be found on the ARRL site, except an editorial back in 2000 proposing the return of the upper part of the band. For every two things they do right, it always seems they develop a bad case of cephalo-posterioritis on something else, and a lot of the reporting is a day late and a dollar short. I then spent some time looking through AMfone.net, but they don't seem to be discussing it either. Makes me wonder if the saying about fone-only operators might be at least partially true: "Without CW, its just CB." ;) And maybe they're just fine sitting on one frequency on a band that usually goes flat by 10pm. The only place I found on the net that has it straight and out in the open is Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/40_meters I don't get it... Unless the word gets out, there'll be no one ON the upper part of 40m when it opens up! C'mon, this is a BIG deal! I'm betting this news is a big surprise to many here, please respond to the thread if that is correct. Regardless, three Sunday nights from now I'm going to have the DX-100 fired up on 7290! 73, Jason kf6pqt -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junk_box AMI #1625 SKCC #3768 FISTS #14233 GQRP #12446 http://kf6pqt.net ************ The Glowbugs E-mail List Website is: *************** *********** http://www.mines.uidaho.edu/~glowbugs/ ************** *** Send subscribe and unsubscribe requests to this address: **** ************** majord...@piobaire.mines.uidaho.edu ************** ----- End of original message ----- ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
