Jings - you guys miss the point quickly!!

If you go on to 1808 we can't come out to play.  We aren't allowed
below 1810.

Our IARU bandplan puts digital 1838 to 1842 where we can get at it. 

I'm amazed to hear some of the things you folks are saying about what
the ARRL have been doing - do they have no idea about allocations in
other parts of the world - don't they want you to talk to us?

Anyway, if you'll come and play up in our bit I'll post a message on
the UK-Contest list and see if we can get some activity from this side.

I've only tried digital once on top band a couple of weeks ago and
worked three on PSK and two on rtty so there are people around.
