[NLRS] ARRL: Proposed 3 and 5cm band plans

Jon:

I guess it's cheating to submit my comments twice, since I already answered 
the call from my new (to me) representative in the Texas area. Just food 
for thought to the NLRS folks who will be commenting to you, I noted that 
there is extremely limited band space allocated for weak signal work, and 
in particular, our routine of a 2.5 MHz split for working two different 
rover packs from one fixed location is incompatible with the band plan 
unless someone's (i.e., EVERYone's) transverter/IF rig can go down to 10367 
instead of the more typical 10368 MHz starting frequency. I realize that 
the band plan is a "gentlemen's agreement" rather than LAW, but it would 
still be nice for the band plan to endorse what we (or at least, some of 
us) intend to do!

BTW, did you want the comments sent through you or directly to ARRL? I 
assumed that the comments should go to the coordinator which is what I did, 
but now that I read the announcement more carefully maybe I should have 
sent them in to ArRL directly.

See you guys in a few months for the summer contest season! :)
