The upcoming WRC 2023 meeting has a proposal from a French company to allocate all the Region 1 2-meter band to aircraft use.  The proposal had no justification as to why 2-meters was appropriate or why other frequencies would not be suitable.  While this doesn’t impact us in Region 2, that low 2 MHz contains all the weak signal, DX and satellite bands.

The IARU says not to worry here: http://www.arrl.org/news/iaru-president-offers-assurances-regarding-french-144-146-mhz-allocation-proposal

This just points out that Amateur Bands are always under attack and we must defend our allocations.  The ARRL is the only group that provides funding in our region for this effort.
