Default Save our 2 Metre Band.

This week a headline has alerted the global radio amateurs community: France plans to kick us out of the popular 2 meters band (144-146 MHz in Europe).

The spark that has triggered the alarm is the presentation of a paper on this matter at the CEPT meeting next week (see the source news).

Spontaneously, an immediate reaction has begun to spread: let's occupy the 2 meter band on Saturday, June 15, 2019, between 20:00 and 21:00 UTC.

EURAO supports this protest action and encourages all hams world wide to show their dissatisfaction with this disgusting attempt, joining the event with QSOs in repeaters, direct and in any mode.

Courtesy of South Gate Amateur Radio News, very worrying.
