UPDATE: 2 METERS INFORMATION BULLETIN
N9OGL is planning this summer to run his information bulletin / amateur
related programs on 2 meters. It will begin in June on 145.570 MHz
between 5.00pm to midnight.

Someone needs to teach this idiot about the 2 meter band plans.

144.0-144.05 EME CW
144.05-144.10 CW and weak signal
144.10-144.20 EME and weak signal SSB
144.200 National calling frequency
144.20-144.275 SSB
144.275-144.30 Beacons
144.3-144.5 New OSCAR subband
144.5-144.6 Linear translator inputs 144.6-144.9 FM repeater inputs
144.9-145.10 Weak signal and FM simplex
145.01,03,05,07,09 widely used for packet
145.1-145.2 Linear translator outputs
145.2-145.5 FM repeater outputs

145.5-145.8 Misc. and experimental modes

Why are you going to use 145.57 for "Information Bulletins" in a
part of the spectrum used for experimenting and other non-traditional
modes and techniques, Todd...?!?! Yes, you can "rationalize" that
"miscellaneous" means you, but why put your sin=mplex 2 meter FM voice
signal where people will not be typically looking for one?

Also, the International Space Station has been operating varying
spaceborne repeater activities in this region...Just think of how many
people you'll REALLY PO if they get jammed by your "broadcasts" on one
of the few clear passes the station makes over thier location.

They'll be talking about N9OGL then, I can assure you.

145.8-146.0 OSCAR subband
146.01-146.37 Repeater inputs
146.4-146.58 Simplex
146.61-147.390 Repeater outputs
147.42-147.57 Simplex
147.60-147.99 Repeater inputs

147.555MHZ is the frequency traditionally used for local
information broadcasts, Todd. No, there's no "regulation" demanding
it's use for this purpose, but it's far more likely you wouldn't
interfere with anyone this way and we'd be less prone to laugh at you
as hard as we're doing.

OHHHHHHHHH poor Stevey he won't be able to listen to my information
bulletins on 2 meters booo hooo

I have no use for them, Todd, on 2 meters or otherwise.

Not only are you violating the "no broadcasting" rule of Part 97,
it's now apparent that you have no repsect for established Band Plans.
I cited the exact current plan for the 2 meter plan and this was your
"response".

I think that pretty much sums up what Amateur Radio can expect
from you.

And the reaction you are getting FROM Amateur Radio is pretty much
a result of your lack of respect for the program, Todd.

Steve, K4YZ

I will point out that that is the ARRL National Band Plan....Band plans
do vary from state to state.....but I'm sure your aware of that.

OK, Todd...enlighten us with the Illinois 2 meter Band Plan.

Please provide us with the URL to the agency coordinating V/UHF
allocations in Illinois.

Steve, K4YZ

I really know what Illinois Bandplan is.....but I do know it vary from
state to state.....because I believe Califorina does not recognize the
"experimental part" of the 2 meter ham band.

So just how many people do you think will hear your "broadcast" on 2
meters? You will be lucky if two people listen in and that will only be
for maybe 2 minutes as they will quickly realize that what you have to
say is of no interest to the amateur radio community.
