[BC] FEMA

[Dave Orienti]

Question to the brain trust out there.  In the past several months, we 
have been "moved" off of several frequencies in the 5 and 7 MHZ 
international shortwave broadcast band by FEMA reserving those 
frequencies.  Not only do they want the frequency, they want a "guard 
band" about a mile on either side.  Anybody know what's going on.  Are 
there not enough other government allocated frequencies between 2-30MHz 
for them to use?  Or, are they using 1950 era Heathkit equipment?  Just 
curious and wonder if anybody out there really has a handle on this one. 
Thanks.
