JOE As of now its a dead issue BUT ... To Answer YOUR comment To allow a group to come in ant TAKE 90% of a band for their own use is INSANE.
Bonnie fails to say ... They already are allowed on ... 219 - 220 mhz but how many digital users using wide band? 420 - 450 mhz same MOST are on microwave they use internet links and the only number I have found on a digital web site showed less that 100 people with this wideband mode NATION WIDE. The top 2 mhz of 6 are like 2 meters FM users there ARE nets and repeaters up there .... no one has asked them a thing .... EVEN IF they got this what is 100 users going to do to save 3.7 mhz of a band? I work this band every time im home right now there are thousands of people on SSB world wide and AM and digital users too. SO they will be squeezed into the bottom 300 khz 100 khz of it is CW only ? Remember it would have been the same for 2 meters too. It seems dead and lets hope it stays that way.
