Steve, Thank you very much for the first clear explanation on HO-68 that I have heard. It was my favorite bird, and while it is sad to learn the chance of recovery is low, it is good to know what's really going on. Thanks again, Richard > - Original Message - > From: "Stephen E. B

As I recall IARU Region 1 (Europe&Africa) approved the use of 145.7875 MHz for repeaters over a decade ago. You're right it's unworkable with the ISS operating on 145.800 MHz +/- 3kHz doppler shift and with 5kHz deviation. Unfortunately that was what IARU Region 1 decided despite having agree
