[50mhz] Simplex below 51 Mhz

Mon, 10 Jun 2002 11:20:02 -0000

Gordon, There is NO place for FM below 51 Mhz! Check out what is 
there! CW, SSB, Digital AM, Radio control, emergancy frequencies, and 
on and on. We don't bother the 52 Mhz FM people so don't bother 
us!!!! The ARRL has NO idea what is going on with 6 meters and never 
has!!  I became a ham in 1961 and that was true then and still is.
