I was pleased to see the "Get on 902" headline on the current QST, but was
disappointed that the article, helpful as it was concerned itself solely with
FM operation.

And it's really a shame. The majority of our available spectrum is up at
VHF and above. There isn't near enough activity on these bands, especially
above 23 cm. I have a feeling this topic will be discussed at the annual
