[Lowfer] Frequency usage question

[Charlie , W5COV]

Yes Mike you should be able to operate it on Bill's old frequency. It 
will be good to once again look for those unique signatures going across 
the screen.

When I put mine back on I will be well below you, as I believe John is 
already operational below where you should be with Bill's equipment.

I am not aware of any active station that has any plans to operate on 
that frequency. Besides most all of us today have the ability to move to 
stay clear of wherever you turn up.

Please keep us informed as to how your project is going and welcome aboard.

Thank you for keeping Wm alive too.
