Australia has nominally 420-450 MHz, but 420 - 430 is unavailable in all of the major populated areas, so the band is effectively only 430-450 MHz for most of us these days. >I guess it would be a struggle getting all the US FM repeaters into >433-435 and 438-440 but most in this area are unused anyway. That's where our repeaters sit here, with 440-450 being ATV and site-site links. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
