[50mhz] Simplex below 51 Mhz

Sun, 9 Jun 2002 10:52:03 -0400

Bob,
I operate mostly SSB/CW on VHF/UHF and Microwave, but there is possibly =
a place for FM below 51 MHz as long as it doesn't impact on existing =
users.  We just need to be rational about our spectrum usage and calmly =
figure it out.
Remember, users =3D retention of spectrum...  Remember 220-222 MHz?  =
Perception played a big part in our losses there.
73,
Gordon

There is no place for FM below 51.0. It is all CW and SSB, plus I=20
think there is digital mode there. I would suggest that you go to the=20
FM portion of the band and NOT go to the SSB, AM and digital=20
portion!!!!!!
