Hi, Roger,

I did a bit of checking. There was a brief experiment, conducted as an
activity of the HSMM Working Group, by one station in Fresno, CA using
OFDM with a bandwidth of 200 kHz in the band 50.3-50.8 MHz, on a
non-interference basis, under an FCC Part 5 experimental license which
terminated in September 2006. No reports of interference were received.
It does not indicate continuing testing and a 200-kHz bandwidth for data
in the 6-m band is not part of the League's regulation-by-bandwidth
petition. 

You may pass this along to the list if you like.
