I guess those 2 megs we lost to UPS a few years ago? Well, UPS still has
not even put a signal on that new band they took from the hams but they have
10 more years before their license to use it runs out. Why haven't they
used it? The cost of new equipment to operate on that band so the truth is,
they likely now will never use it and we'll eventually get it back, for what
that is worth.
