[50mhz] Simplex below 51 Mhz - 6m Band Plan

For those who were interested in the band plan - here is a link to the ARRL
web site and the band plan for 6m...

Tim,
Honestly 50.3 sounds a bit low in the band for FM on 50 MHz.
Chris, WB5ITT had some very cogent comments that really make
me wonder what the problem is with the radios that you have.
However, my basic concern is for spectrum use and retention.

50.3 would be a problem for all the reasons that Chris gave,
but there are still some problems when you move up the band a bit
Remember that filters are a lot bigger and often less selective,
 than comparable ones for 144 MHz.  Perhaps there needs to be some
thought given to a revised band plan for various modes in a way
that is compatible with many of the traditional operations that continue
today?
I don't have a band plan handy, but I wonder what is in it now?  It may tell
us that we are fine as we are! Aty least that the sense that I get from
Chris' comments!
73,
Gordon

Ok, sounds good. I had heard from another source that about 51 megs was the
end of the tuning range without changing coils or caps, 525 is OK but we
were thinking more along the lines of getting a group going in the area and
didn't want to tie up the calling freq.

If I can get it to go above 51 then I probably will pick something there and
not worry about it although it sounds like there is some promoted activity
on 50.3, I guess I have a listen a while longer and make a decison.

Thanks to all for the detailed input.
