[600MRG] spectrum change that might interest you.

[Tom "Doc" Gruis, KØHTF]

Hi from Iowa!

    The allocation of the spectrum and its seizure for auction is not a good 
thing.  It is kind of like when some in DC wanted to auction off the 
redwoods.  I feel it is good for those of us really involved in radio to 
keep a heads up on the government philosophy or policy about the natural 
resource called the "electromagnetic spectrum" especially since we are now 
hoping for the 630 meter and 173 Khz authorizations.  Just asking. Different 
technical details but the same control over them. Auctioning off the 
spectrum; is that a "green" thing to do? There are some nice wide amateur 
bands up in the UHF area.  Might they become vulnerable.

   At my QTH I am noticing a strong seemingly carrier around 173 KHz. with 
some multiples.

    I am capable of operating on all bands 160 through 1.2 GHz except 60 
meters.  As a broadcast engineer - olde First 'Phone with radar 
endorsement - the frequencies just above and below the AM band are of 
especial interest.

    I am hoping to expand receiving capabilities on LF and low MF this fall 
and get somewhat into QRSS. Your postings on antennae and such are really 
appreciated from this "lurker."

TNX ES 73,

Doc.
