However, included in it is (in my opinion a good) proposal to give the Novice licensees the 14.1 to 14.15 MHz subband. This would allow them to experience even more kinds of propagation and better our pool of public servants. I would like to hear from anyone who has an opinion (either way) on this petition. 73, Adam Buchsbaum KA2JQH ----------------------------------------------------------------- gopher://quux.org/ conversion by John Goerzen of http://communication.ucsd.edu/A-News/ This Usenet Oldnews Archive article may be copied and distributed freely, provided: 1.
