Just asking them to consider giving up a small part of the huge avenue to allow a bicycle lane. Look at 10 meter, it is already screwed and havoc with general illegal use, yet the FCC and the radio clubs just won’t let go of that legal thumb on it. That legal thumb is just an ignored formality at this point anyhow with that band.
> bicycle lane
Perfect analogy. Bicycle lanes are politically correct, dangerous, and mostly unused.
I could easily say the same about 40m and 75m. Just listen to any of us good ol' boys in the wee hours of the morning and you'll hear stuff that'll curl your hair.
That does NOT mean we surrender the bands to a bunch of law breaking punks. We just build bigger amps, run another 220v circuit and talk right over the top of the morons.
