Try this again…e mail problems today after the storm...
Steve & all there hasn’t been any OSCAR ops in decades there…unless its control
frequencies (??) - the ARRL bandplan hasn’t been tweaked since the early 80’s…
…but the RAC Canadian bandplan has digital at 144.3 -144.5
I’m sure we can all fit in there…so as not to QRM EME operations , but we’d
have to see about APRS and digi Fm operations too…I’m sure we can though
On 432 I’d suggest going up above 432.2 so that high ERP stations arent qrmed
or cause qrm….
On 222 I’d suggest going above 222.2 also
Comments?

Hi Pete
I am not sure 144.174 for FT8 would work very well in the east. Outside of
contests it would likely be fine but during contests, SSB/CW activity almost
always extends down to .170 (top multi-op W2SZ/1 is always there!) and
sometimes to .165.
I wondered about 144.313, but I see ARRL lists this as an OSCAR subband, which
seems odd since it seems to be incompatible with the Region 1 band plan
(https://iaru-r1.org/index.php/spectrum-and-band-plans/vhf/2-meter). I think
144.313 would be ok with respect to the (rather antiquated) Canadian band plan
(http://wp.rac.ca/144-mhz-2m-page/ ).
