No tears shed here.
Someone came to the farm in the early 90s and asked about putting a mast up for a navigation system for the Forth. They'd picked the spot because of the adjacent trig point.
I asked "What frequency?"
He demurred and said below the TV band.
I said I used radio gear quite a lot and needed the exact frequency and specification of the signals. He'd thought he was dealing with someone non-technical.
He named the frequency, right in 70cms
"Oh, I'm licensed for 400W in that range, and high gain or omni antennae... are you sure this is going to work?"
He went away.
Result!
