Oh, thought the arrl was for morse staying in, and the FCC thinks it's
dying. One thing that seems puzzling is that for quite a few years now,
repeater control, echolink, and the like have been done on 220 and 2-meters
even though the rules say you're not to use such frequencies to do that type
of thing (I heard someone use autopatch on the 2-meter repeater the other
day). Hmmmmmm.
