So we can hope that our concern is taken into account and at least no transmitter for these applications will be allocated within the CEPT LF band. 73 Ha-Jo, DJ1ZB Dave Sergeant schrieb: > >From Dave G3YMC > > Having read in more detail the German original of the proposal to allocate > various LF frequencies to the pager service I note the following. > > The questionaire appears directed at potential users of these frequencies for > pager services - ie there may be several networks operating independantly. > It implies however that one individual network will use a single transmitter > designed to cover the whole of Germany.
