???????????????????????

His local gang was tlaking to their new club official. None of them
knew anything about frequencies used for 6m AM operation.

not at all

I was trying to spark an On Topic discussion HERE about how folks
would go about local band planing

It is "band planning", Mark and it isn't done on a local basis.


It can be on vhf and above frequencies. You just need to open your
mind a little, a very little.

It can't be done locally if there is any chance of interfering with
other regional repeaters.

more pronucements from on high

the MM's have spoken
If you are coordinating to avoid putting your
local machine with one 50 or 75 miles away, you aren't dealing with
local band planning. You're dealing with regional band planning.

not according to the ARRL you are being pretty certain about the
meaning of words

the ARRL says local bandplaning is possible

Now, what do your comments have to do with 6m AM operation?

why does it have to?

the topic was local band planing as described in the ARRL repeater
guide as possible

It is
done on a national and regional basis. If we decided to implement a
local band plan for 2m here, the 2m users in Pittsburgh, Morgantown,
Parkersburg, Marietta and Columbus would be in a dither.


There is still room for local variation in a regional plan.

...not if there is any chance of interfering with other repeaters in
your region, there isn't.

You told us of

your lack of knowledge of where 6m AM activity might be found. A couple
of us told you. Now you'll undoubtedly string us along for a number of
posts as you did over the 60m "band".

Perhaps he and other associates have no 6M crystal for where the AM
activity might be found and wants a local variation.

Yeah, that not being able to buy a crystal would be a significant hurdle.

Sheesh.
