Sweden will keep twelve 25 kHz channels for club and school purposes for at least 10 years.

Since there is no detectable difference between using 125.000 on a 25k radio and using 125.005 on an 8.33 radio, why not?

What is funny about the above map is how the UK is the top country for using offset carriers – for stuff like London Info. These cannot go to 8.33 because their operation needs the “more sloppy” receivers.

This popped into my email yesterday. Offset carrier (“climax” – what an unfortunate name ) usage in Europe

The above mentioned document is here
Thanks Finners.

Unfortunately that Eurocontrol URL appears to have been dead for some years… I know they change the token monthly (presumably a crude attempt to prevent people creating links to the database) but even the PDF itself, while referenced variously on the www, appears to be gone. If anyone can find the PDF, please email it to me and I will insert it here.
