Re: Crazy idea said by fAcEtIOUs:said by DaveDude: I could understand them taking away all of Vhf, but not the entire deal. Radio needs to go fully digital as well. Most of the digital OTA is now in the UHF band. I suspect it would be possible to reclaim the VHF bandwidth and pay the stations that would have to move their frequency from VHF to UHF out of the proceeds of the wireless auctions. Low VHF is less than optimal due to reflections and noise. High VHF could be used.
So I'd suggest abandoning low VHF, giving a small 70MHz allocation (70-70.5) to ham radio operators, and leaving the rest open for white space devices and an expanded (digital?) audio broadcasting service to supplement FM and get rid of this IBOC crap. |
