440 is valuable band because of the propogation. I agree it's time to do something new with 6, but I don't think there's much of a move to steal that one back! On the other hand, who knows, if we continue to not use our alloted space there are indeed a lot better uses for it, I don't think

I'm wondering if this is related to the interference issue with the military PAVE PAWS radar system by a number of 70 cm. repeaters. Dave AF6AS -Original Message- From: Rhett Isley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subj: Re: [digitalradio] Re: 6 meters digital Date: Mon Jun 4, 2007 9:22 am Size

ITS NOT what is going on is the government has radar on that band and HAMS are not supposed to interfere with it. They have a problem with that radar. NOW if 70cm goes away it will go back to the GOVERNMENT. SAME OLD LIES .. no one is out to get it and the government has 1st dibs anyway. If
