I don't think anyone was debating the 145-147 MHz allocation. I made the point that the sub-band repeater segment didn't come along until after those rules were abolished. I think repeaters were illegal in the sub-band at the time, and the inputs would have been out of their band if the repeaters had existed. Anyway, I think the sub-band came out around the very late 70s or the early 80s.
