to get 6m back?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Guys,<BR>There has been an announcement that the analouge TV service
will be turned off in 2013.<BR>As a Ham radio operator, I'm watching this with
some trepidation.<BR>We have been restricted by RSM in using the 6 metre band
because of TV One needing to translate or transmit in this part of the
spectrum.<BR>I find this rather strange, when you consider that TV One is sent
to AshVegas here on two different frequencies, 62.2500 MHz and (the better
signal) 175.250 MHz.<BR>Ask yourself, is this efficient use of our
spectrum?<BR><BR>There has been talk in the media about these "spare"
frequencies, being used for "ultra-fast broadband", Umm OK, I'm not sure that
we're all on the same page here.<BR>Since when would a frequency like 62 MHz be
used for broadband?<BR><BR>We've never been allowed to use 6 metres down here
without a "special permit" (one of these I have) and you are not allowed to
operate on this band within the "Prime time"<BR>veiwing time of television
users.<BR><BR>Your thoughts?<BR><BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Mike T.<BR></BODY></HTML>
