well with the acception of the satelite frequencies, and some designated SSB
frequencies, what would you guys be losing?
perhaps it's just me, but when was the last time any of you talked to
anything other than a bird below 440MHZ?
It's the principle of the thing I know, and agree that it should be fought
tooth and nail...but practically speaking, I don't suspect it would have an
immediate, or direct impact on amateur radio as a whole.
I know letting something go can and would lead to other bands being taken
away.
However, I can't for the life of me think why anyone would want or use the
420/440MHZ spectrum...it's hard enough getting agencies to start using the
700MHZ spectrum never mind adding in more in the UHF band.
