Re: ATV on any TV
Cliff,
Good point to make! Operation on ATV in Anchorage on 434 totally wiped out
UO-14 use last year for FD! It is not suitable for the band plan in the
433-435 repeater/aux sub-band. ATV occupies 6-MHz BW! Please use the
bottom of the 70cm band. This was a topic at the Leo Society meeting last
weekend in Wasilla, Alaska. The only ATV folks in Anchorage are now aware
so have it taken care of up here.
