We as a "group" do need to get the 6m qrp freq cleared
 up.  I have had a couple submissions to me as Pres of
 ARCI about the problems with the current 6m qrp freqs. 
 Unfortunately, we (arci) are not the sole keepers of 
the freqs so we have to get some of the other big clubs 
to go along with any changes.  I don't see this as a
 big problem for 6m, actually.  If .096 works, I'll bet
 others would go along with it in a flash.  What we
 need to do is have a couple folks take charge of
 running this rabbit.  There is a chap in Miama whose
 name I can't remember who is extremely involved with 
6m.  He actually came up with the term "magic band" for
 6m some years ago and is now a part owner of a company
 that produces the HamWhip antennas (not HamStick) - 
those are from S.C.  If anyone knows him, pls drop me 
his call.  We can have our "committee" contact him to see
 that .096 is really "clear".


We are speaking here of only the CW calling freq.  We 
also need to examine the phone/ssb freq while we are at
 it to make sure it is still good.  Once we have these
 worked out, then we can run it up the flag pole around
 here and in Europe to see that it "sticks".

Any takers to volunteer?

BTW the 18.069 that George has on the NJ site is simply
 not correct.  It should be .096.  In order to make it
 keep a copy of the correct freqs, I have made a copy 
and posted it on the QRR ARCI site.
