[TowerTalk] Neighbors

[Tim Makins, EI8IC]

I wonder if you could have a 'voting' system set up between you. Each shack
has a box with buttons and led for each band. Whoever presses the button for
a band first lights both LED's, and has the right of exclusive use of that
band.

Otherwise, a full scale publicity campaign on how neat VHF operating is, and
the joys of satellite or moonbounce. <smile>
