Re: LF: Re: [rsgb_lf_group] Proposed usage for the MF band

Hi all

 

It has been said before that to salami slice such a small allocation as the MF/LF bands is nonsenses.

 

In any case how many of the "Slicers" use these frequencies? As usual it is those who feel they have the right, will thus be giving the band "Policemen" a mission.

 

Why is it not possible to have these bands organised by the actual users on a consensual basis rather than have it cast in "stone"?

 

Alterations in QRG usage would then be organic and by popular demand and meet the needs of developing modes and operating practise. It will be messy but I think it's called Democracy which seems to be slipping through the fingers of the regular MF/LF users. After all we do have a forum to air these issues..

This has not been discussed in the Norwegian ham community, and because
of LA4LN's solo act, I am not a member of NRRL any more.
