Well actually I just picked up the newest edition of Monitoring Times and =
read that one state, I think it is Wisconson, is using the 130-144 MHz =
Military band for Trunking.  Although it is NOT state wide.

Greetings,
      600Mhz band is currently reserved for UHF-TV.  700Mhz is used=20
by Channels: 53-68  Please refer to your frequency lists.  Here is=20
one from the ARRL:

http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/catv-ch.html

The FCC is only considering realigning Channels 60-69 for alternative=20
use.  This has not been done yet.  Many UHF-TV stations remain in the=20
Ch60-69 range.  The FCC will not realign the whole 700Mhz band which=20
includes UHF Channels down to Ch 53.=20

In the meantime, there is no way anyone is going to be using=20
UHF Ch36-53 (600Mhz) for anything else but then for UHF-TV and DTV.
600Mhz is not going anywhere.  Chs35-53 will remain UHF-TV primary.
Any other allocated use, would ONLY be done on a local-ONLY basis.
Possible Government usage.  But Public Safety or Business,=20
forget about it.  We'll see if the FCC does anything like that.  I=20
consider it unlikely.
