<div>I'm all for moving off of 60 Meters. Look, it's a great band and I'm set up there right now. The lack of automatic control makes it undesirable for a lot of the core functions of APRS. 40 or 30 meters would seem to be a better alternative.. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>-- Joe <br></div><div>KA3NAM</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>May 9, 2020, 5:08 PM by joe@dellabarba.com:<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><p>Would it be better to use another band?
