[600MRG] NPRM wording

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

I have to agree with John and Rudy. The wording suggests their 'best 
guess' about the future use of the band. In addition to the technical 
challenges how many stations will a sliver of spectrum support all at 
one time in a given area? It's not reasonable to expect the multitudes 
to populate the band. If that does happen we'll just work it out. I 
remember reading something about "put them (hams) on 200 meters and 
down". Look where that lead.

I've only been listening but even that is a challenge!

73,

Bill  KU8H
