Re: Save our 2 Metre Band.
2 metres is the only band I have used for some time. I'm at 500' asl and have a 15 mile clear view to the east but still don't hear many stations, Having said that I have had several QSOs this week and there are a few nets in the evening.
My take off to the north, where most of the rest of the country is, is obliterated by a forest, but I get quite a few contacts during the holiday season from the local resorts.
Even though I live in the country there is still a lot of noise on HF making 2 m FM a much more pleasurable experience.
I can't see the 2m band being given up easily.
