[VHFcontesting] Calling Frequency Northeast on 900 MHz

[Sean Waite]

I kind of wish we used 902.1 in New England. With SG lab transverters and
my ft290rii it'd eliminate a lot of knob turning. I was looking into
switches on the jumpers, it's not a bad idea with all of the potential
options these things have inside of them.
