2. Topband: ZL top band window (score: 1): Author: "RonSpencer" <ronspencer@nc.rr.com>; Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2007 13:23:05 -0500; The idea of having ZL transmit somewhere around 1810 and listening up is good except I don't think it would ever work in a contest, especially a 160 only contest. I just don't think there is any way; /archives//html/Topband/2007-02/msg00037.html (6,943 bytes)
