LF: US 136 proposals

["Dave Sergeant" <dsergeant@connectfree.co.uk>]

I read in November QST that the ARRL is still struggling to get 
approval for the 136kHz band in the USA.  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.
