It's "easy" to move, but not cheap - particularly for all the clubs which have thousands invested in 2m repeater hardware.
There are many thousands of repeaters around the world, worth hundreds or thousands of dollars each, mostly in remote locations or on private land, and almost entirely funded and maintained by volunteers.
The loss of this band would definitely hurt ham radio!
- Aloha 7y agoWhere do you move to? the bands in the states are full
- throw20102010 7y agoThis varies on the region. 70cm here in the midwest and mountains is nearly empty, and 2m isn’t completely full. If you combined both you would have an exciting band. The downside is that there won’t be a whole lot of space to expand in the future. I’m sure that on the east coast it’s a different story. But gaining an exciting and active band is probably not worth losing 2m, and I’m sure that once 2m is gone in Europe it will be on the chopping block in the USA.
