QSB is a major problem, of course, with the bands the way they are. And I'm guessing that the fading you get on bands like 23cm are going to make it difficult to use those bands as well? I guess there might be some interest for JOTA. Other than the age old 'Radio verses non-Radio' communications I'm thinking this may not get a great following in the UK/Europe. But, I could be wrong. I'll certainly do some more reading before touching the TX button again! Dave (G0DJA)
