Will "no code" license result in meaningful growth?

Very good question. In future centuries it may become very popular again in some form if we ever colonize planets or moons in our solar system. However, not being there yet, I sure would like to improve our situation on this planet, especially during sunspot minima. It would REALLY be helpful if we could have a full 40m band that is free of commerical broadcasting interference...that would be a significant improvement. Also, the ability to communicate on a full 60 m band at full power would help. A decent chunk of 30m with voice would be very helpful. Much of the segments I mentioned are not used that much anymore by the commericals and it is going to waste. 75-80m and 160m are great at certain times except that, although they tend to favor the rural demographic, they are uselss to the younger people who tend to live in the cities and suburbs. I think the spectrum provided to us is basically unusable much of the time (with the exception of 20m). We are told to use the bands or lose them but much of what we have cannot be used, reliably, much of the time. |
