A few administrations have made an allocation to radio amateurs (the progressive ones?). At the last count I think this was 6 administrations. Many more have allowed operation at around 8m outside the amateur radio service.
I hope many more come to their senses soon. As I have said many, many times, just 5kHz, narrow digital only, and QRP power amateur radio allocation would be a start and allow research.
Why do radio amateurs in some countries have to pay to do research?
Am I alone in thinking the negative attitude of some PTTs is encouraging law breaking? At least with licenced radio amateurs traceability is easy. With my current T&I call I don't have to use a callsign or give my location, so traceability is non-existent. Talk about stupidity!!
A limited time (2 years around the sunspot peak?) amateur radio allocation at 8m with a strictly non-interference clause, with the limitations shown above, would surely cause no harm.
