Hmm, I don't see 220 MHz coming down here in a hurry.  That wonderful invention
called digital TV has just ensured that 220 MHz will remain entrenched in TV
broadcasting for many years to come! :-(

The brighter side is that in 2008, 6m will finally be free of the limitations
imposed by channel 0 TV, and we stand a chance of getting unrestricted access
to the full 4 MHz.
