And this is different from any other law...HOW?

Bandplans are cooperative agreements between affected amateurs, not"laws".

for an occasion we find ourselfs in absolute agreement

"occassion" "ourselves"

and as amateur they are subject to modifcation by us which proves they
are not laws

Sure they are.

once again no they are not laws

Sure they are.

you are not telling the truth

Wrong.

you are lying

Nope.

not moving off till you deal with the facts

I could care less WHERE you move to, Markie.

rules and regs are NOT laws, that is a fact

I don't care WHAT you think, Markie...Congress delegated thier
responsibilities to regulate radio to the FCC in the Communications
Act.

i know you don't care about facts you have proven over and over agian

Uhhhhhhhhh...If I have "proven" them of COURSE I care baout
them!

Idiot!

cuting the bull#### that follows

"cutting"

Then you're announcing your intention to inflict harm upon
yourself?

one is number of folks here and that Includes me) want to operate 6 AM
without hearing from DX

OK...Leave your coax plugged into an dummy load...(No, not
him...the 50 ohm one under the desk...)

If you don't want to "hear from the DX", then just don't answer
them. Otherwise you're at the whim of the Propagation God, and he
doesn't give a hoot who you want to hear from or not. When six meters
is open, it's open...When it's not, it's not.

If you want to just "work the locals", select one of the 2M or
70cm coordinated simplex channels. There's more than enough and you're

far enough away from any major city so as to not have to "deal" with
the DX.

another is some arguement over FSATV here north of the "A" Line which
cuts off the bottom of the band where FSATV hangs out in most places

So have the guys who live north of the line use the higher
channels to transmit on and below the line use the lower...

Problem solved.

a thrid issue is some of the local are not happy about the 222
bandplan, not quite sure yet what the beef is , all I do know is that
it has something to do with the fact we can reach Canada on that Band
fairly often. Indeed I manage a 222 MHZ FM simplex sked most weeks
with ham in Thunder Bay Ont

The beef is that we gave away the lower 2Mhz.

I know it is possible to adpot local variants.it would nice nice to
know how to go about it. One could just do as we please and more than
likely no one will notice.

ta-DAAAAAAAAAAH! Just make sure you're not interfering with any
users who ARE in compliance with the bandplan and you have no problem.

I don't like that "solution" as I know it
encourages chaos and if we start ignoring the bandplans in VHF then HF
bandplans are real danger. what I am looking for is an alternitive, a
way to deal with local within the struture so we can encourage
continued adherence to bandplans by making them fit us where we can,
and at VHF and up we can do this in real terms

Know how I avoid this problem...?!?!

I start off any transmission that MIGHT cause interference with...


"Is this frequency in use...?!?!"

Works just as well above 50Mhz as it does below it...
