There are apparently big objections from Part 15 Power Line Communications systems, and although the ARRL suggests they (ie unlicensed users) have not a case it looks as if it will be some time before the US amateurs get the band. Good luck to all in the USA in their attempts to get the band. Perhaps the experience in Europe where most of these type of objections have proved groundless should be taken into account. 73s Dave G3YMC dsergeant@iee.org dsergeant@btinternet.com http://www.dsergeant.btinternet.co.uk
