[SixClub] rumor of closing of 6 meter band

[Gabriel Sierra]

Thanks for the link! I also found this:

http://www.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Notices/1996/fcc96317.pdf

My info was a bit outdated. The original plan for
efficient use of spectrum called for all channels to
be     over 440 MHz, but the new proposal set a region
on the channel 7 to 13 area (174-216 Mhz), and 14 to
51 (470-698 Mhz) for DTV. They also mention that the
VHF low, where our beloved band is located, is too
prone to interference and the UHF has propagation
problems, so a 270 MHz core band is being proposed.
The VHF low channel frequencies will be recovered for
other purposes.

Really interesting document, to big for this forum!
