well, the thing is, the newbies are in the minority, and everyone else
is the majority, so ya gotta mount a pretty good technically sound
argument that is win win.....
Yep, there is a cartel on repeater planning pretty much in most
developed countries. In VK , also.
There is, however, most certainly an ability to fit a new digital
system interleaved, ie between existing voice repeater channels.
That will free a few up.... what have you got on 2m in NA. SSB/CW at the
bottom ed. They need a wide berth. Satellite segment, and then
repeaters, cannot imagine there are too many simplex voice channls
required, a handful of packet for sure.
what has been done here with dstar is allow some of the channels on
1.2MHz splits (IE rather than the +/- 600 offset, there is one RX band,
and one TX band 1.2 MHz away. That has fitted in with existing rpt
plans. and makes more sense. 1.2meg is oh so easy compared with 600kHz.
Hands up just how many people have built and set up a 600kHz voice
repeater single antenna with no desense ? Not many have that
experience/ability.

Bruce,
Agreed on the new paradigms part.
I can almost guarantee you will get a fight on the band-plans, or at
least a fight changing how things work.Too many "good old boys" out
there that don't want to give up the control they have over repeater
coordination here in the US; we need more grooups that actually check
to see if repeater frequencies are in use instead of trusting the
trustees to keep them informed of changes.
