Isn't 3.580 MHz about the busiest digital channel on 80 meters due to
the proliferation of cheap crystals? I'm about to suggest it's not a
good spot for more wl2k testing, which could be totally agile across
the data portion of the band, and I'd like to make sure I get my facts

USA you can use it on every ham band,
MF, HF, VHF, UHF, etc.
Just be sure you are in the correct band
segment for image comms. And be sure your
