THis is one thing we do alot of locally in EM04.
SOmetimes having someone get on to give us a point
often enough actually gets the person interested in
VHF contesting. Is it unfair for the person to only
get on FM, so they can't work the SSB guys? I don't
know, but I don't think so. AT least they are on the
air.
If there are enough captive rovers on 222 to populate
the band so we don't lose it-bring them on!!
