opportunities for general APRS applications.<br>

maybe it's time to petition the FCC to identify 147-148 MHz as

<div>We
are dreaming of a 9600 baud East coasst
packet backbone along the route of the
APRS Golden Packet event. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://aprs.org/ec9600net.html" target="_blank"><a href="http://aprs.org/ec9600net.html" target="_blank">http://aprs.org/ec9600net.html</a></a><br>

I wonder if the 5W 220 MHz HT featured in
QST this month would make a possible radio.
Many of these sites are high and adjacent to
plenty of VHF and UHF commercial rigs.<br>
