Actually Mike, what I really see on 75 M is the overall lack of amateurs to be flexible now that we have a lot more phone area. Old habits are hard to break; AM'ers still try to cluster around an imaginary window; diehard SSB operators are also still clustered around this imaginary window, and both groups seen reluctant to want to break ground anywhere else, yet lower in the band are frequency areas totally void of any signals for a good part of the evenings. Of course, a number of us have made the move lower and, at times, with great success and a lot less adjacent hostile aggravation.
Our subbands are part of the FCC's rewards program. You pass the test, you get more privileges. Personally, how other country's government agencies structure their amateur radio frequency privileges, license classes, max. power, etc. is of little concern to me. There is no reason to be "in step" with them on this issue. Pete, wa2cwa On Sun, 29 Apr 2007 18:50:55 -0400 "Mike Sawyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Where have you been living Pete, in a cave??
