[kictanet] CA denies governors radio permits - Daily Nation

[Tony White]

Ali,

I suspect this has more to do with frequency availability.  On a
200kHz 'channel' spacing, there are only 150 distinct frequencies
available.  If one county is granted a licence, it won't be long
before the other 46 counties would want in on the act.

Of course, frequencies may be re-used based on geographical separation
- but this requires a level of planning skill they maybe don't have?

The 'constitution' excuse is just a convenient way of avoiding the issue ;)

Cheers,
Tony
