Well finally. I filed notice today with UTC.org for both my home and rural properties using the online forms. I'm generally expectant of bureaucratic ineptitude, so I wasn't surprised when I didn't even get confirmation emails for the two filings. That's OK, I took screenshots of each. Neither site is anywhere near being within the 1000 meter 'protection zone' of a high-voltage distribution line - the closest two to my residence are 3.9 and 8.2Km away; and there are no high-voltage distribution lines within 3Km of our hunting/recreational property, so I should be good to go.So now the big question is, where/how are we developing voluntary band plans for these new allocations. I had expected to see some discussion here, but unless I've missed it, nothing so far.
Ideally I'll set up LP [~25w out of the PA] beacons on one or both bands to operate from the recreational property, and do two-way operating from here at the house. [The recreational property is about 45 air-miles WNW of me, so not convenient as a primary QTH, but the separation makes it ideal for a beacon site]
I've seen alleged 'Band Plans' for 630M and 2200M - but I don't know who put them together, and they don't make any reference to beacons at all, although both specify "USB Voice" recommendations... which seems particularly ridiculous at 136Khz.
Since I don't want to step on any toes with the beacon(s), I'm looking for thoughts/guidance on frequencies from those with a bit more background on the topic.
Thanks
Chuck
