[VHFcontesting] PropNet to run a net in the middle of the 2m beacon sub-band.

[Ray J]

Last time i checked  144.188 is not the beacon subband.. 144.288  is and 
I Believe there has been propnet beacons running on this frequency for 
several years now..

Now this is this a issue???

IMHO.. I'm not sure why Ev doesn't use 144 .155 or something.. down 
around where all the other narrow band digital stuff is..

It appears to be a rather childish and strange choice in order to attract the attention of VHF/UHF Weak Signal folks to his particular pet project. You would think if he was truly interested in attracting PSK folks, he'd operate the net in a much better portion of the 2m spectrum. Yeah, I'm baffled at the logic too.
