Really?

How much is 220-222 used in Canada?

Will 222-225 be overcrowded because
of the loss of 220-222?

What justification can there be for hams having
5 MHz of prime VHF spectrum if those 5 MHz
aren't being fully utilized?

Hey clown,


Brian,

I'm not a "clown".


not in brains opinion and not in my own


But considering who and what the two of you are, that doesn't lend
much credence to the act.

What's with the name-calling? Are you desperate for
attention? Or do you think such behavior is somehow
justified because I disproved your claim?


nah it is your blah sey attitude about it


Nice try, Markie. A dictionary would have been better, though.

you get into a lather at suggesting you neeed what you see as your BW
in HF but you blithely talk about giving away VHF as if it wee nothing


No one said it was nothing, but these arguments about the
protection of our allocations have been going on for DECADES now yet
there is is relief.

The Spectrum Protection Act or some other legislation sounding
like it has been in committee ump-teen times now, Markie...How many
times have YOU written your representitives (in English) demanding that
they pass it?

I asked significant, relevant questions about the use
of 220-222 MHz by Canadian hams. Try answering
them - if you can.


no you did not


Sure he did. That you don't understand them or can't read them is
not relevent.

In case you didn't know, 220-225 is not worldwide
exclusive amateur territory. If hams don't use it
enough, why shouldn't it be reassigned to
services that *will* use it?


more of your lectureing attitute try to hope from clown to ###hole?


What's "lectureing" about it, Markie...!??!

It's a stone-cold fact.

The 220-225Mhz band wound up in North American Amateur's hands for
the most part as a buffer between commercial users and the Armed Forces
"band" from 225Mhz to 400Mhz (among other reasons). It was never meant
to be an unrevokable allocation...(Not that any are...) That we've
kept it this long has been nothing short of a miracle.
