As usual with the government and all the "ABC" agencies, there are some bureaucrats who think they "know" but really "Don't" know or have a clue. Too bad it's that way, but unfortunately, we, the end users have to roll with the punches. Hopefully no one screws up and pops the "big bubble" for all. Same thing has been going on concerning the Coast Guard and the "600 meters" allocations to be!

This anomaly isn't the FCC's doing - it's NTIA's doing. It's their band, their channels, and they are calling the shots. We're lucky to get any 60 meters at all. I'm intimately familiar with how that worked. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 (FCC District Director - Retired) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ----- No virus found in this message.
