[Mich VHF UHF Society] 3456 and 5760 MHz VUCC

[Mark Korroch]

Hello all,
As I'm sure many of you have heard, there is a proposal before the FCC to remove the amateur band at 9 cm (3456 MHz) and use it for "5G".  So if any of you would like to try and get a VUCC award on that band you may want to start building!  Remember, you only need to work five grid squares for VUCC on 3456 or any of the bands above that.
I don't currently have a working station for 3456, but still have the parts from my old station that I did get VUCC with many years ago, and I could put it back on the air at least as a portable station.  I may even have enough parts laying around to build another QRP station for the band.  I believe there are at least a couple of other people around here with working stations on that band.
I've talked to Bob WA8VPD about trying to get a VUCC award on 5760, and he seems to think we could do that from "garbage pit hill" (Lyon Township Park, now called James F. Atchison Memorial Park, EN82EM, just off I-96).  So one of my goals for this winter is to get a station working on 5760 MHz so I'm ready in the spring to give it a try.  If anybody wanted to try for VUCC on 3456 we could try that band at the same time.
So anybody interested in either band?
73,  Mark  WB8TGY
