Auctioning off spectrum that includes the important 435-438 Satellite segment? Let alone that 430-440 is a ham band almost everywhere in the world. 73 de Pat --- KA9SCF. On Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 11:40 AM, wa4...@comcast.net wrote: - Forwarded Message - From: Rick Pinelli

Most of the world doesn't have 420-430 and the rest of the band is only secondary in Europe. Guess you and your buddies need to start using the lower 10 megs if you don't want to loose it. Most of us survived happily with only the 430-440 bit. On 21-Feb-11 23:22, Patrick Green wrote:

I'm not sure how worried people are over 420 - 430 since there's parts of the US you can't operate in those 10 megs. Down there from what I understand, though I could be wrong, is amateur TV. The important thing is we don't lose the 430 - 440 segment because that's where a lot of activity,

True, and in Europe, where thay only have a 10MHz wide band, ATV has gone to 23cM using FN, not AM. Makes old satellite TV receivers usable for the Rx side without modification other than a preamp. I guess it would be a struggle getting all the US FM repeaters into 433-435 and 438-440 but most
