Default Re: Save our 2 Metre Band.

I fail to see what a petition via 38degrees can achieve, it is not directly connected to government. Read the background and criticisms of it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/38_Degrees - I have not and will not sign that petition even if it is amended to correct its various errors.

I understand there is a .gov.uk petition in the works which is awaiting approval. That at least may result in it being discussed in a parliamentary committee although I doubt whether that will achieve what we want.

I suggest you read the documents available at https://rsgb.org/main/news/special-f...wrc-19-papers/ (bottom section, WRC-23 agenda items) which summarises what is being proposed and links to an excellent summary by Don G3BJ:

There is much mis-information being passed around.
