[600MRG] Measuring power

[Edward R Cole]

I think it matters for all of us.  My comments were that we few that 
have experimental licenses can establish a "beachfront" for the main 
ham troops to land, eventually.  And if you are really interested do 
not let lack of ham allocation stop you from getting on 600m 
(properly licensed, of course).

Steve makes a valid point on how numbers count for securing access 
for long time.
