[600MRG] 630 meter approvals from UTC

[Chris - KC0TKS]

I assume this comment was directed toward me.

Sorry, even $100 is a "large" amount of money for me to spend on 
something, considering that the possibility still exists to receive a 
denial and have to scrap my plans.

To avoid further insults and suggestions that perhaps I "SHOULDN'T 
operate in our new bands" since I am overly cautious and don't readily 
accept vague rules, this will be my last post on the subject.


Enjoy yourselves,

Chris - KC0TKS
