Policy Issue: Canadian Amateurs to Lose 220-222 MHz
an_old_friend wrote: wrote: wrote: wrote: wrote: Jeff Hermann say use it or lose it is hogwash. Really? How much is 220-222 used in Canada? Will 222-225 be overcrowded because of the loss of 220-222? What justification can there be for hams having 5 MHz of prime VHF spectrum if those 5 MHz aren't being fully utilized? Hey clown, Brian, I'm not a "clown". not in brains opinion and not in my own But considering who and what the two of you are, that doesn't lend much credence to the act. What's with the name-calling? Are you desperate for attention? Or do you think such behavior is somehow justified because I disproved your claim? nah it is your blah sey attitude about it Nice try, Markie. A dictionary would have been better, though. you get into a lather at suggesting you neeed what you see as your BW in HF but you blithely talk about giving away VHF as if it wee nothing No one said it was nothing, but these arguments about the protection of our allocations have been going on for DECADES now yet there is is relief. The Spectrum Protection Act or some other legislation sounding like it has been in committee ump-teen times now, Markie...How many times have YOU written your representitives (in English) demanding that they pass it? I asked significant, relevant questions about the use of 220-222 MHz by Canadian hams. Try answering them - if you can. no you did not Sure he did. That you don't understand them or can't read them is not relevent. In case you didn't know, 220-225 is not worldwide exclusive amateur territory. If hams don't use it enough, why shouldn't it be reassigned to services that *will* use it? more of your lectureing attitute try to hope from clown to ###hole? What's "lectureing" about it, Markie...!??! It's a stone-cold fact. The 220-225Mhz band wound up in North American Amateur's hands for the most part as a buffer between commercial users and the Armed Forces "band" from 225Mhz to 400Mhz (among other reasons). It was never meant to be an unrevokable allocation...(Not that any are...) That we've kept it this long has been nothing short of a miracle. Steve, K4YZ |
