IARU REGION 1 ADDS NEW 2 METER REPEATER PAIRS
---------------------------------------------
IARU Region 1 has voted in favor of creating a
pair of new 2 meter repeater channels to relieve
some of the on-the-air congestion in that region
of the world.  The new frequency pairs are
144.9750 MHz and 144.9875 MHz as inputs with
145.5750 MHz and 145.5875 MHz as their
complimentary outputs.

The latest newly added frequencies were proposed
by the South African Radio League and approved by
a vote of twenty seven in favor, fourteen opposed
and seven abstentions.  No implementation of this
modification to the Region One bandplan was
announced.
