Protect the 2m band 144-146MHz for use by amateur radio operators

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

A French company Thales is requesting that primary use of this band should be tuned over for use by aviation. This is ludicrous as there is a vast infrastructure of radios and repeaters worldwide that use these frequencies. This should not be allowed to happen.
