Hi.

Why do we need an expansion for 6 meters?  Except for the slice between 
50.1 and 50.25, I almost never hear any signals down there.  An allocation 
around 70 MHz so we can work Europeans when F2 gets really ripping would be 
great, but I wouldn't expect them to actually do it.  As for unused 
frequencies, I wonder how long before the rest of 222 to 225 MHz gets removed.
