[50mhz] A question for 52.525 FMers ONLY...

[Tad Danley]

Andy, my favorite rig for 6 FM was an RCA 1000 series mobile.  I had the 
advantage of knowing and later working for an RCA manufacturer's 
representative from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s and we were just 3 
miles from their manufacturing plant in Meadow Lands, PA.

Six FM was a lot of fun!  At this time all of my activity on the band is 
SSB or CW, but I might have to put up a vertical at home to use on FM 
with my IC-7700.  I think the lack of reasonably priced used equipment, 
plus the misconception that there is nobody to work, has kept people 
from trying 6 FM.  Right now the 927 MHz FM band is going though quite a 
bit of growth that is driven by the availability of late model used 
Motorola, Kenwood and other commercial equipment at very inexpensive 
prices.

73,
