Agree, obviously …. however, the sub band is pretty dead here in the GTA…except
for APRS on 390… which is wide and ugly (hi)…
but below its quiet….
Keep in mind that when we did the RAC (CRRL) bandplan there was a lot of
pressure for all the packet, and repeater frequencies and then in the 90’s it
all died out..
suddenly all the guys using the repeaters disappeared…and the repeaters got
quiet…at least on 2 m…70 cm was still busy however…
So time to re visit the bandplans…on both sides of the border…kind of like
NAFTA… hihi

My suggestion would be to stay well clear of the APRS frequency. In my
experience over the last several years, weak signal work and near by FM don't
always seem to co exist well.
