Can Hams, Governments, Share 6 Meters in Europe?

VHF-active hams around the world are invited to take part in an on-air event to determine whether hams and European govern-ment users can share the 6-meter band without interference problems. 

The ARRL Letter reports that the so-called "P-Test" on Thursday, June 13, is the second of two activities which will help governments in Europe, Africa and parts of Asia decide whether to support agenda item 1.1 for this year's World Radiocommunication Conference – a proposal for an amateur allocation at 50-54 MHz for countries in Region 1 of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
