I wonder how many Techs are active on VHF+ weak-signal modes? Most of the 
people I work have General or Extra licenses.

I am active on all HF bands as well as VHF+.  And I have a lowfer antenna 
in the yard now, too. 

I've been working on adding a new band: I should have the 24 GHz 
transverter done in a month. I have a feeling building gear for the bands 
above that is not for the faint of heart.
