I know, but in many areas there are a lot of unused frequencies. Still, I would never seriously tell someone to operate there. I would also not recommend operating repeaters in the parts of the band where repeaters are prohibited. Others don't see this prohibition as a deterrent, however. The reason? "The repeater bands are full" and there is a desire to put more repeaters on the air.
This goes back to a comment I made before. IF you can justify putting repeaters in all parts of the band based solely on lack of 'repeater spectrum', what is to keep you from being able to justify extending beyond the ham bands? Illegal is illegal no matter how illegal it is. We all know there is lots of underutilized spectrum just above and below 2M and 220. Is that a reason to put ham repeaters there?
