[Elecraft] K1 and 160M

Sun Dec 8 17:15:01 2002

I do realize this, but consideration is "in process" in the UK right now and talk
about elsewhere.  The Brits are at least getting a "taste" of things.  I guess I am
remembering the FCC fiasco concerning the big SSB frequency change years ago in the
Marine industry, plus the on again and off again allocation the '600 Meter Reasearch
Group' got on their experimental license to do some testing on the old 400-500 Khz
marine CW band.  It
looks like FEMA and the military wants to gobble up all the HF spectrum space they
can for some reason.
Again, for several years now, the "Amateur Radio Service" seems no more than another
CB band to FCC now.  They seem to not want to be bothered by allocating or regulating
the
ham bands anymore...foisting it off on others (W5YI or ARRL?...Who???)
