Hi Folks!
There are only two stations using channel 6 after the June cutover.  
Why are we not asking for a 4m band allocation, even with restrictions?
Does anyone know the process of petitioning the FCC?
In other countries there is a 70.0-70.5 allocation and while participation
is small, more countries have made allocations in the last decade and there
is activity.
Anyone want to collaborate on a petition?

Thanks & 73,
Gordon Beattie, W2TTT

That map is quite different from the FCC channel listing I looked at 
about a month ago. Although they do have channel 2 showing up in the 
Kalamazoo area.

There was a table showing present, or rather pre-change date channels 
before they changed the date and the  projected channels. That to was 
quite different than what I have seen on the FCC page.

They also had a Saginaw station with is currently about 12 miles from 
me, *currently* located in Badax which is way over in the thumb.

That used to be a problem but I doubt it is much of a one at present 
except maybe in Chicago.  The big problem is propagation which could be 
a big problem with digital.
