[NLRS] [Fwd: [222mhz] FWD: Proposed Changes for 220 Bandplan]

[Scott]

Why do the FM operators need additional bandwidth?  From what I hear, 
there are not too many people operating on 222 band repeaters.  This may 
not be true in larger urban areas, but the rest of the country uses 
virtually no spectrum at 222.  Currently, I see 21 repeaters listed in 
WI that are on 222.

According to the Wisconsin Association of Repeaters, the 222 band plan is:

222.000 – 222.150  Weak Signal Modes (EME, CW, SSB, Beacons)

222.100            CW/SSB Calling Frequency

222.170 – 222.250  Repeater Control / Link (20 kHz spacing)

222.260 – 223.380  Repeater Inputs (20 kHz spacing)

223.400 – 223.580  FM Simplex / Packet (20 kHz spacing)

223.500            National Calling Frequency

223.610 - 223.850  Links and Control (20 kHz spacing)

223.860 - 224.980  FM Repeater Outputs (20 kHz spacing)

 From 222.170 to the end of the band is for FM type modes.  All we weak 
signal guys get is 170 KHz of the band.

My 2.5 cents worth!  I'm all in favor of discussing this at Central States!
