[Lowfer] FCC Denies 136khz Band [Other Viewpoint]

[WE0H]

So let's all get one experimental license that covers all interested
parties. All we need is one person that will keep on top of the license
changes as needed. What is the cost of applying; I think 50 bucks. Peanuts.
We can have our band for 5 years following the approval. Hopefully by then
we will have it as an amateur band since we all can prove that there will be
no interference. I suggest a minimum limit of 1w ERP with an antenna under
200' and 1500w maximum output power in the final amp.

I suspect it more likely would have returned the the slightly slower pace of
experimentation that existed before the surge of interest that accompanied
the last few years of ham enthusiasm.

By the way, has anyone noticed the irony of the FCC saying "no, you can't
have a piddly 1W EIRP as a ham on LF, but you can apply for experimental
licenses where we'll let you go to several watts on the same frequencies"?
