[GreenKeys] 2 Meter AFSK

[Ken Kinderman]

A belated thanks to all who responded to my query on 2 Meter AFSK. Based on
the replies, I will be monitoring the "experimental" frequencies below 145
to see what's going on. Also checking the simplex frequencies. I have
always used them for short, temporary, one-on-one QSO's to avoid tying up
the repeater, so even if they show little activity, I probably shouldn't
camp out on them. Unless they are used for "old buzzard" transmissions...
then I guess it's squatters' rights.

More to come when I get some AM gear on the air. If not the ARC-5 or
SCR-522 right away, I can pull out the Gonset II.

73,
