[Amps] 220 MHz segment

"There are commercial two-way operations in the 220 MHz to 222 MHz segment

Amateur Radio Service is now "primary" whereas, before, the Amateur Radio 
Service was a "secondary" user in the entire 220 MHz to 225 MHz segment."

Most of the ACSSB junk has been ripped out. I have been to MANY radio sites 
in Oregon and Washington where the equipment still sits un-plugged. 
Although, Day Wireless in Portland still runs a 220 MHz LTR (Johnson type) 
trunking system in the Portland metro area.  Not sure how much use it gets.

After getting the 220 MHz to 222 MHz segment realigned for commercial 
two-way radio, but using "narrow band" techniques, UPS then tried to get 
"normal" FM approved because of the higher price of ACSB equipment.  To the 
FCC's credit, they denied that application.  Therefore, UPS abandoned their 
plans for a country-wide 220 MHz radio system.

Speaking of this, does anyone know what happened to that little piece of
the 1.25 M band we lost a while ago 9220-222 MHz)?  I heard that it had
been given to UPS, who subsequently just let it lie fallow -- didn't bother
to use it at all.  And is still that way.  Can anyone confirm the truth or
otherwise, to this statement?

Thanks a bunch!
