uHi everyone, what do you think they'll use the VHF TV channels for when
everything is mandated to go digital?  I'm mainly talking about 2-3-4 and
5-6.  I know the 700 portion is going for public safety useage, and it's
either P-25 digital  or penSky.  the 470-512 MHz range is already being
used in some places by public safety in digital and analogue and
conventional and trunking.  Someone was wonderin if the very low VHF TV
freqs could be poossibly an expansion of the ham bands?  I.E. TV channels
2-4 could be an expansion of 6 meters?  I think taht would be wishfull
thinking though.
