It is an excellent way to get numerous ideas on how to write one's own comments. I also appreciate the various bulletins that appear here. They are immensly useful for distributing on our local 2 meter nets. One thing that comes to mind concerning the no-code license. I notice that some propose no voice priveleges for the new class. The problem then becomes, how do they identify themselves? If they don't know code and can't transmit voice, I see a problem. Phil brought up an important point, about the crowding on 2 meters, especially in California ( We are not far from it in the Midwest). How 'bout something in between, like voice is ok, but no repeater operation? I think it is too bad that the 2 meter band was chosen for some of the satellite operation. I don't recall AMSAT worrying about congesting 2 meters........... Bob K9EUI Bob Roehrig ...we13!rjr
