Default N9OGL to bust 2 Meter band Plan With "Information Bulletin" Broadcasts

From Todd's "blog"....

QUOTE:

UPDATE: 2 METERS INFORMATION BULLETIN
N9OGL is planning this summer to run his information bulletin / amateur
related programs on 2 meters. It will begin in June on 145.570 MHz
between 5.00pm to midnight.

Someone needs to teach this idiot about the 2 meter band plans.

144.0-144.05 EME CW
144.05-144.10 CW and weak signal
144.10-144.20 EME and weak signal SSB
144.200 National calling frequency
144.20-144.275 SSB
144.275-144.30 Beacons
144.3-144.5 New OSCAR subband
144.5-144.6 Linear translator inputs 144.6-144.9 FM repeater inputs
144.9-145.10 Weak signal and FM simplex
145.01,03,05,07,09 widely used for packet
145.1-145.2 Linear translator outputs
145.2-145.5 FM repeater outputs

145.5-145.8 Misc. and experimental modes

Why are you going to use 145.57 for "Information Bulletins" in a
part of the spectrum used for experimenting and other non-traditional
modes and techniques, Todd...?!?! Yes, you can "rationalize" that
"miscellaneous" means you, but why put your sin=mplex 2 meter FM voice
signal where people will not be typically looking for one?

Also, the International Space Station has been operating varying
spaceborne repeater activities in this region...Just think of how many
people you'll REALLY PO if they get jammed by your "broadcasts" on one
of the few clear passes the station makes over thier location.

They'll be talking about N9OGL then, I can assure you.

145.8-146.0 OSCAR subband
146.01-146.37 Repeater inputs
146.4-146.58 Simplex
146.61-147.390 Repeater outputs
147.42-147.57 Simplex
147.60-147.99 Repeater inputs

147.555MHZ is the frequency traditionally used for local
information broadcasts, Todd. No, there's no "regulation" demanding
it's use for this purpose, but it's far more likely you wouldn't
interfere with anyone this way and we'd be less prone to laugh at you
as hard as we're doing.
