==BRITISH AMATEURS GET ADDITIONAL 100 kHz ON 40 METERS OCTOBER 31
Starting at 0100 UTC October 31, the 40 meter band in the British
Isles
will effectively double in size when radio amateurs there gain access
to
7100 to 7200 kHz. Ofcom, the UK telecommunications regulatory
authority,
announced the Notice of Variation October 26.
Hmmmm? I guess we are allowed to know about another countries operating
priveleges.
You must be jiving us. Otherwise I might be inclined to think that
you're a bit of a dim bulb. You've been told a number of times that
there is a large difference betweening "being allowed" and "being
required" to know.
I've been playing in the CQ Worldwide DX 'test this evening. I've CQ'd
in the American band, announcing a listening frequency below 7.100.
I've not paused a single time to check a lookup table or the internet
before responding to any of those who replied to my CQ. Maybe you
should make an effort to police 75 and 40m over the weekend. Some of
those shifty DX stations may try to pull a fast one.

Hi Hi,
I too worked several of the G stations in the ''new'' band. Really nice and
clear. Most were just above 7.1, I would suggest the Europeans move up
even higher in the major contests and when they are looking for DX phone
qso's split.
It was much cleaner about 7.140 plus / minus the one broadcaster I heard.
I have been licensed since 1961, and have seen 40 meters basically
destroyed by the broadcast garbage, I hope I live long enough to FINALLY
see it opened up and be able to work Europe without going split on phone.
