Re: Save our 2 Metre Band.
I suspect there are a hell of a lot of "Licensed Listeners" on 2M .
Perhaps if more of us called CQ now and again there would be more activity?
These days it's a cinch to build something which will ground the PTT line, play out a pre-recorded CQ message, then unground the PTT. A few lines of a suitable scripting-language and you have the ability to run this auto-CQ at random intervals.
[The CW equivalent is even easier to implement! The days of blowing 2708 EPROMs with different CW messages are long behind us]
Hmmmm... I've got a first-generation Raspberry Pi somewhere.
