Re: [44net] An anniversary of a sort - 36 years

Why not sell off our frequency’s while we are at it too? I see 44/8 just like any other spectrum we have. 44/8 has just as much value as other spectrum we have access to as well from commercial ventures… My self and others have been able to reclaim commercial v4 space from our ham projects and re-number into 44 space. We are also building much infrastructure on the 44 space. We are able to work connectivity and peering agreements with providers due to the fact we don’t need space from them. We have our own to use. As for the V6 topic that got into this thread, there is so much space that groups can get there own space from a provider or tunnel broker. he.net <http://he.net/> will give you a /48 last I checked. The groups that are serious about doing V6 with ham radio will figure it out or already have. HamWAN Tampa dual stacks already as does other groups. Here in Michigan we have a /36 ready to go, but it’s on the when snow is flying list of things todo vs now which is installing RF gear building networks in good weather. I do like the idea of an addon to the ampr portal that list the “Ham Based” v6 networks. like we have now for v4. -- Fredric Moses - W8FSM - WQOG498 fred(a)moses.bz
