I bet you all thought I left.  Anyway, there apears to be some
comotion about loosing 220?  What do you expect! Use it or loose
it!  Just because you have a repeater that emits morse code and
collects static doesn't mean you are a spectrum user. I still think
amatuers should stay below 30 MHZ where Morse code is supreme and
leave the VHF and up to the people who can use it more effectively.

Yeah, and you can use morse on a handheld top-band rig with a trap dipole.

(Top-Band = 160 metre)

I'll stick with an FT708!
