What is the future of Michigan coordination?
I have watched the bands rapidly become saturated for over 4 years. I see people realizing that the 2m, and 440 bands are almost no longer available for new coordinations anywhere. I see a strong interest in 220 and 6m and it will not take long for those bands to reach saturation as well. In some places, they are saturated already. This leaves us with 900mhz and up. There are very strong indicators that this is where the action is going to be in the near future. The MARC is currently developing band plans for those UUHF bands and there are coordination requests for several 900mhz and 2.4ghz repeaters awaiting action right now. The ultra-ultra high frequencies are where the bulk of future new coordinations will be made. The lower bands will basically become maintenance areas for the MARC, even if application of new technologies allows shorter co-channel separations. At shorter co-channel separations, the problem of clearing the adjacent states is still going to exist. The adjacent state
