I guess one question is, Are the repeater coordinators formally handling this band as well as 2 meters? In the long run (if 220 lasts that long), though, I think the national level planning will help us out by taking measures to prevent the repeater interference problems on a more global basis that the regional councils have been able to do. Even if this will suspend NEW 220 mhz repeaters for now, we can take more positive measures than sitting here and complaining. How about USING WHAT WE HAVE OUT THERE NOW? How about putting more packet repeaters out there, since they do not need to be formally coordinated? How about going out and getting a 220 rig, or using the ones we have and getting active on this band? The premise in the band takeover plans is that they are not getting used. Lets get out there and prove them wrong! Peter Baldwin, WA1SNH ptb@mitre-bedford
