[NLRS] MW reflector chatter

[Bill Davis]

  This morning there has been some chatter on the MW reflector that has grown out of planning for the SEVHF conference.  The discussion is around the decline in VHF/UHF activity. Imagine that! An observation one person made was, that the last "bubble" in activity may have occurred due to the  VUCC program. I suspect he is correct.  I thought this was a very interesting observation. One that I had kinda forgotten about.

  We are starting to see people selling off the UHF Microwave gear. Marshall 5QE  dumping 902 and above is the latest. Not a good sign.


  Anyone have any ideas of other "on air" challenges. One that comes to mind is the "Above 50MHz" activity sponsored by CSVHF, but it has struggled and does not encourage "local" weak sig tropo activity all that much.

  I could still take another presentation of the 15/20min variety for AU2014. WE ALL would like to hear about what you are doing in at the bench or on the air.
