440 is valuable band because of the propogation. I agree it's time to do something new with 6, but I don't think there's much of a move to steal that one back!
On the other hand, who knows, if we continue to not use our alloted space there are indeed a lot better uses for it, I don't think anyone will disagree with that logic! On 6/3/07, expeditionradio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I support efforts for new 100kHz bandwidth digital on 6 meters. It's about time hams do something interesting and new with 6 meters. In California and most of the western part of North America, 6 meters is 4MHz of "Wasteland". 99% of the time, it is largely a vacant band of valuable VHF spectrum. In San Francisco Bay Area of California, the 440MHz band is now in the process of being taken away from hams. I predict that 6 meters will be taken away as well, if we don't do something useful with it. Bonnie KQ6XA
