[cma-l] 300 new local frequencies - Consultation

[Tony Bailey]

Yes, the national 2.2 meg spacing is a relic of the days of poor 
selectivity in valve receivers.  Don't hold your breath though, if you 
think you are going to get some of it, remember what happened to the so 
called "community band 107" supposedly low power now used by the "small 
scale" commercials at powers exceeding levels used by whole town ILR's.
