more 70 MHz (4metre band) info

just some more followup on the WIA band plan submission for a tiny slice of  70-87 MHz segment,  WIA asking for 70.000 to 70.500 MHz,  that 500kHz to play with,  definitely more than adequate in my mind, plenty to experiment with.

Noting what Region1 has for a bandplan, if we could get the same slice here (Region3), then obviously we need to use the same Bandplan as Region1 to be able to work Region1 from Region3 during E's.

70.200 MHz  SSB calling.

70.450 MHz  FM calling ,  using 12.5kHz FM channel spacing.

70. 260 MHz       -  AM calling !!   really ??  that's legacy modes for sure.

70.100 to 70.250     that's 150 kHz for weak signal nodes,   heaps of space.

70.300 to 70.500  FM at 12.5 kHz spacing = 16 channels,    that's plenty of channels !!

I think  70 MHz would be good fun, with ducting, tropo and E's propagation modes.

fingers crossed we get a slice to play with.
