That part of the spectrum is not going to be of any benefit on a consistent "nationwide" basis for the next few years for any experiments due to declining sunspots. Not sure what it could offer other than a local tool.

What I am proposing is this: File for 150 kHz starting at 27.850 and ending at 28.000. This would be for digital ONLY to experiment and use some new technology. In addition to Clover, Pactor III there is some interest in 56 Kb which can be up to 50Kc wide. I would ask that the experiments be by band width only and again, digital only.
How are we really doing on 40m for WRC-2003? How about the VLF and 5 MHz allocations? I'd hate to spread our resources too thin... Is there something about "right now" that makes the proposal timely? We've never even proposed an allocation there as a part of our long term strategy for spectrum have we? Of course, if it "falls in our lap" I don't think I'd send it back... -- Tom ===== e-mail: k1ki@arrl.org ARRL New England Division Director http://www.arrl.org/ Tom Frenaye, K1KI, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444
