Re: Save our 2 Metre Band.
Of course there would be no need to have an 'activity hour' if we were relatively active on the 2m band all the time. That's the problem, people see spectrum being under used and think "why not"? That said, I can tune around most evenings here now and find (respectable) CB-style conversations going on on one or two of the FM Simplex channels.
If we were the primary users of the 10MHz-wide 70cm band we would have lost that long ago on the reasonable basis of our lack of use of it, but fortunately it belongs to someone with more clout.
