I was surprised to see on page 9 of the latest RSGB RadCom under '2013 =
Band Plans', a statement re the 472 - 479kHz band:- "Activity is limited =
to modes with 500Hz bandwidth or less". The implication here is that =
this is what Ofcom has specified, especially as in the sentence before =
it refers to the Notice of Variation. As such, the statement is quite =
misleading and untrue.
Who at the RSGB has decided on this new rule? Why does the RSGB feel the =
need to impose such a rule? It looks like they are dictating to the =
membership, rather than representing them. Frankly a bit of a cheek.
I note later in 'LF' by Dave, G3YXM, on page 55, the correct statement =
is made, referring to the only change in the licence conditions being =
the power limitation.
Come back Pete (FMT)! All is forgiven!!
Vy 73,
Chris, G4AYT.
