I don't know a lot about this, but aren't there dozens of other frequencies set aside for this purpose?

- jsjohnst 7y agoNot with the same characteristics. Either they are limited on power, limited on range, equipment is very expensive, or are heavily impacted by solar / weather.
- floren 7y agoThere's quite a few, but since they're set aside for esoteric weirdos who should just go on IRC, they're presumably on borrowed time as far as you're concerned.
- CydeWeys 7y agoNah. 2m is an excellent general purpose, medium-range communications band. The next closest bands on either end are 6m and 70cm, both of which have different characteristics (70cm doesn't do well with buildings, and 6m is too long for good handheld antennas).
