Hi Folks!
There are only two stations using channel 6 after the June cutover.
Why are we not asking for a 4m band allocation, even with restrictions?
Does anyone know the process of petitioning the FCC?
In other countries there is a 70.0-70.5 allocation and while participation
is small, more countries have made allocations in the last decade and there
is activity.
Anyone want to collaborate on a petition?
Thanks & 73,
Gordon Beattie, W2TTT

That map is quite different from the FCC channel listing I looked at
about a month ago. Although they do have channel 2 showing up in the
Kalamazoo area.
There was a table showing present, or rather pre-change date channels
before they changed the date and the projected channels. That to was
quite different than what I have seen on the FCC page.
They also had a Saginaw station with is currently about 12 miles from
me, *currently* located in Badax which is way over in the thumb.

That used to be a problem but I doubt it is much of a one at present
except maybe in Chicago. The big problem is propagation which could be
a big problem with digital.
