[CW] Two New Amateur Bands

[Danny Douglas]

Yeah, Ill rush right out and spend a couple thousand bucks for a radio that can get me over a couple of counties (if lucky).  Id much rather they gave us a band at 60, instead of 5 freqs.  At least most of the newer rigs can expand to that.  I got it, when I expanded mine at the time I sent it in to fix a tuner knob problem.  If you saw the ifs ands and butts, you have to be a certain distance from other hams, from those little computer reading chips that control electricity, etc. etc. etc.  Pain in the ass.
