My pet soap box.... trying to increase band usage on VHF plus frequencies. Any and all comments welcome, hopefully constructive.
Use them or lose them goes for all of our bands, and that's where you will hear me. Former KB9KTD.

Hiya Dave!

Welcome to our little group.

You say 'use them or loose them', but in the UK, even though VHF and UHF are more popular than ever (due to the great increase in readily available equipment), the bands are being 'eroded' little by little because of commercial interests in those frequency ranges.

Quite ironic when you think that the 'radio experts' of the early part of the twentieth century had declared that wavelengths of 100 metres and down were 'useless'.

Enjoy the site Dave!
