John,
You (and several others) found errors in my list. When I posted
that list as the "original" novice freqs, I took them from a 1955
ARRL License manual.
Turns out there had already been a number of changes from the
"original" in 1951. So I dug deeper last night, and found that
there were only 3 (not 4) novice segments originally.
3700-3750
26.9xx-27.3xx (forget the exact limits)
145000-147000
The 40 meter allocation came in 1952 or 1953.
The first 40-meter allocation was, as you remember, 7175-7200.
It was expanded to 7150-7200 in 1954(55?) around the time the
15 meter segment was added and the 11-meter segment was withdrawn.
(I think!)
73, de Hans, K0HB
