I just got a notice from the ARRL, saying that ham societies are being
asked to contribute to the new Region 2 band plan.

On 2/7/2013 11:44 AM, ARRL Web site wrote:
The Secretary of IARU Region 2 has asked Member Societies to offer
any suggestions they may have about possible changes to the Region 2
band plan.

I suggest hams be accorded squatter's rights on any band with less than
10% usage in any thirty day period.

I say: if hams find a stretch of RF Real Estate that's lying idle, we
get to use it until and unless the assigned users make their presence known.

My 2¢.

Bill, W1AC
