nice to have somethng to discuss

OTOH WE are NOT seen as a public saety function.

I wonder how hard the ARRL worked to get us classified with PS&HSB?

did they work toward that gol at all?

you are still a memebr you might ask?

The first I heard of it was their announcement that we aren't being
reclassified. That tells me that they were working on it.

HMMMM not good for
the safety of ARS freqs id say

Perhaps.

sorry you areit isn't "preahps it is "not Good" it may also be not bad
but surely being classiefied with EMS and therefore above taxi cabs
would have been good for us in the long run both here and in our
neighboor Canada where vhf bandwidth is also at rsik

Had we been reclassed, there might be actual demands that the ARS would
have to live up to other than "goodwill.".

I'm just dumbfounded why we're wasting spectrum on
high-definition TV?

yep but that is money and if the money for it comes to the FCC at al
it might do some good by acident

Somebody will make some money.

Anyone who wanted better TV has cable or dish.

yep
