[TenTec] New and Coming 60 meter channels

[AC5E at aol.com]

Well, Uncle Charley isn't giving us much more room to spread out on but it's 
kinda' like the story of the camel's nose under the tent. The camel stuck his 
schnozz under the tent, lifted his head, and he was all the way in the tent. 

The NTIA bureaucrats said the sky would fall if ham radio invaded their 
sacrosanct frequencies around 5 mHz. Just like bureaucrats everywhere - wet 
blankets all. 

We will eventually be given an opportunity to use some few channels on 60 
Meters. If we make good use of them;  and prove to the doomsayers that the 
sky isn't falling and prove to the FCC we can make good emergency 
communications use of the frequencies;   we can petition the FCC to give us 
some more channels with a good chance of success. 

So let's all keep on plugging away and eventually we should gain full 
priveleges on 60 also. I'm just glad I have two rigs that will get on 60!
