The change in six years on 40 meters

We in region 2 (North/South America) stay the same. BUT Region 1 and 3
moves the broadcast crap above 7200. AND Europe gets another 100 kc. From

7.0 to 7.2.

FANTASTIC! This effectively doubles the amount of 7 MHz spectrum available to
amateurs on a worldwide basis!

40 is one of the best all-around bands. It's good for domestic and DX work. You
can get out with limited power, and the antennas aren't too big. Almost always
usable around the clock and around the sunspot cycle.

The only thing wrong with 40 is there isn't enough of it.

About time


Dang straight. The nonsense of sharing with megawatt SWBC has gone on since
before WW2.

Now to get the resto of the band for regions 1 and 3.
