Chris,
In the long run it's obviously good news. But I'm not sure how
valuable it will be in the short term.
The range where we will be able to work transceive, 7150-7200, is
full of BC QRM, entrenched/ill-tempered U.S. nets, contesters working
stations below 7100 who are QSX up, etc. Even from 7100-7150 you'll
have BC QRM if you operate split. I suspect we might still be able to
hear M7Z better below 7100. Hope I'm wrong - We shall see.
73, John, NT5C.
