My comment was not meant to be negative but a query as to why we need to change our bandplan! Are we changing just because the US changed theirs? Dave if you have some insight into this, I and most likely others on this list would be interested into hearing why the change is necessary. So far no one has given any reason why a bandplan change is necessary. If it's because the US changed their bandplan, this does not seem to be enough reason to change ours. Please educate me as to why! Robert VE3RPF --- david Lawrence <va3orp@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Greetings All; > I am surprised at the negative comments on the new > Draft Band Plan.
