[MRIC] 60-meter freq

[wb0egr]

Brett,

The information can be found here:  
http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/faq-60.html

However, based upon 36+ years of HF experience and trying to use 60 
meters from my station, we would be much better off forgetting 
completely about 60 meters and using 75 & 40 meters along with 10 and 6 
meters phone.  In the event of a widespread incident, 60 meters is 
likely to become very crowed very fast and there is no room to "move a 
little bit up or down the dial" as we would have on the other bands. 

I hate to make this kind of an analogy, but I fear that during a good 
sized event such as a hurricane, blizzard, etc., the five 60 meter 
frequencies will become fairly crowded quite quickly and sound a lot 
like CB Channel 19.

Why 10 meter phone?  Well, it's quiet at night and with 100 watts and a 
decent antenna, once can get fairly decent ground wave communications 
over a 50 - 150 mile radius.  Why 6 meter phone?  Similar propagation 
characteristics to 10 meters.
