I'm sure the paltry means I could come up with as a full time security supervisor will really compete with one of the suits representing some fortune 500 company.....
But you never know. Maybe we could all pool together and get another small slice for US ham radio.

Current bid of 4.7 million, sounds CHEAP.
A company that I worked for in the past, paid
267 million for 100 kHz of spectrum at 940 mHz, and 50 kHz of spectrum at 901 mHz.
Total of 150 kHz of spectrum for 267 million.
That's 1.78 million for each 1 KC of spectrum space.
Wish I could have just 10% of what they spent !

Ain't that rediculous? THIS is the very reason WHY we have interference to public safety and amateur radio. Emissions? Bah! It goes to the highest bidder!
Nextel. Dumb.

I was mistaken, it wasn't 267 million,
It was 297 MILLION !!!
But what's 30 million amongst friends.

I need a rich friend or two that think like that.
