I will use the bands given me in new equipment. I managed to buy a rig with 6, and then another with 6, 2, 440, so have started using those too. I am not going to go spend the money to build/buy a rig for a band such as 440, or 902 etc. because they wouldnt get much use for the money output. If they come as part of my hf rig, they will get used, and that is one of the reasons we are seeing more and more people on 6 and 440 right now. Its one of the reasons I got the IC706 as a second rig. Had another small rig, been outfitted with more bands, I would have probably gotten that one.
