SB QST @ ARL $ARLB013
ARLB013 FCC okays RF identification tags at 433.5 to 434.5 MHz

It's use it or loose it. I've turned on the rig several time during
commute and during the day when I get a chance. The 70cm band in RI/SE
MA is dead. Throw a call out, hear nothing back.

2M is pretty much the same. It's just too bad.

IIRC, 434 MHz is in the middle of an ATV channel, not the repeater sub
band. Part of
me would be willing to concede (on a 2nd or 3rd basis) 434 for a horse
trade deal to
avoid BPL. But there is also the aspect of the camel's nose getting
inside the tent....
(I also realize that the RFID people are not the same as the BPL people).

There are airport radars at around 445MHz that look for wind shear. The
government
IIRC did go out of their way to avoid interference to the ham repeaters
in the area at each
such equipped airport.

Oh - those are the Doppler radar units, particularly the one in Chatham
in my area, although I'm on the southwestern fringe of it.

And all they did was create quiet zones around many of them, for a
radius of 30mi. in some cases.
