[aprssig] HF options

[Henry Wolcott]

One suggestion is to use NVIS antennas for those short HF hops.That's Near Vertical Incidence Skywave. Google will give you all the info.

digipeaters.  Without favorable terrain, that seems a little doubtful 
for direct VHF.

I've done very little HF myself in the past decade, and I've never 
worked HF for local (relatively speaking) communications.  Can anyone 
suggest bands and equipment that would work well for this, assuming 300 
baud AFSK is used?  Power consumption is a major concern.

Thanks,
