Receipt of the report of the Ad Hoc HF Band Planning Committee is
Docket item 22 on the Consent Agenda.  However, as noted in the
Board's Agenda: "Receipt of a report does not include approval of any recommendations contained in the report. Consideration of such recommendations comes later on in the agenda."

I would certainly hope that The Board would have sense enough to
publish any recommendation by the Ad Hoc HF Band Planning Committee
for general membership comment and potential modification *before*
taking action to adopt any plan developed in secret (notwithstanding
a short window for comments at the outset of the process).

73,

As an aside, the upcoming ARRL BoD meeting starts Jan 16.  It has on the agenda
the Report from the Ad Hoc HF Band Plan committee.  As you probably know this 
was
created in response to the unhappiness expressed after the preemptory release of
RM-11708.  There may well also be discussion over the BoD comments related to 
new
Technician class digital mode privileges.

These reports are often covered under the Consent Agenda which means they may 
not
be disclosed in the resulting minutes if no action is taken.  So we may not 
know what was
reported or what possible direction the board may be considering.

I hope everyone has previously expressed their opinions to the Band Plan 
Committee. I also
am hopeful that we may learn what the committee has concluded.

I intend to ask my director for transparency on these topics.

Yes, there has been operation close to the upper limits, but never without
very wide gaps below those top qrgs.   Very easy to avoid psk and jt's
without compromising room to operate.

It would be very interesting to see a list of what frequencies the top
scorers run on, as well as a frequency distribution chart incorporating data
from all contest logs that do report actual qso qrgs.


I only have a 10 m dipole up right now (and a WARC trap dipole that I
probably could have loaded ..) so I was only on that band.  Cabrillo
rounds your frequency so there is, in reality, more variation than
shows here, but regardless ... when I wasn't running on 28111.75 (yes,
that's why I chose it) I never heard anyone much higher than 28117.
Well, no one I could work.  Yep, there's still another 183 kHz, but
ain't no body there.  So you can make the argument, in fact I will,
that the other modes have plenty of room to spread out but don't.
