Hi All: Seems I recall in the back of my mind some discussion about NTIA on this. I'm concerned due to Chris' comments, especially that the FCC will not override NTIA. Sounds like a done deal already. Where does that leave us now? Move above or below 5250 - 5400? Given our previous discussions and planning about 5 MHz, makes me wonder why we didn't have some better idea of the magnitude of what we would be up against ahead of time. 73, Rick - K5UR In a message dated Wed, 4 Sep 2002 9:11:35 AM Eastern Standard Time, W3KD writes:

It was difficult to determine how serious their opposition was at the time. Now, it appears extremely serious. We work well with NTIA, and a non-confrontational approach is clearly the only workable plan. FCC will have NO incentive to override NTIA here.<
