Commercial companies are paying millions of dollars for frequncy pairs. It is Vital that we Hams protect our most valuble resource - Our Frequencies. The NTIA has recently Sold a large portion of the government bands to the commercial world. By 2008, all of government VHF and UHF radio systems will have been replaced with 12.5 Khz narrow band systems. It is only a matter of time for the FCC to impose the same requirement on commercial radio users. The next step would be the Selling of our precious frequncies.
