That is the point that I am attempting to make, that 4 meters will have little interest to most commecial users. They usually want UHF and above.
But one thing I didn't originally think of, that only the full service stations will be required to go dark on analog in 2009. Apparently translators and low-power TV will still be allowed to operate analog. ------ Original Message ------ Received: Sun, 29 Jul 2007 06:55:12 PM CDT From: Ron Wright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: 4 meters > Gary has a hidden point. > > Often the FCC will give Hams spectum no one wants such as 60 meters (5 MHz) and then take something like 220 or other VHF/UHF.
