True, my previous statement wasn't really correct in saying that you just got my frequency allocation. Sorry about that - More info here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_frequency_allocations#ITU_Region_2">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_frequency_allocations#ITU_Region_2</a><br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">I'm not currently active in amateur
radio. Last I checked technician licensees still had very limited
band segments and emission types in the frequencies below 50 MHz.
Could have changed. I don't subscribe to QST. Too little in it
interests me.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The amateur radio "plain language"
requirement goes back a long way. Interpreting it into a digital
mode? Has it been clarified?</p>
