Hi John.

One thing that I have noticed is that if you want to get on 220, you will
pay dearly for it.  Even older radios hold their value much better on 220
MHz than on other comparable bands.  That probably helps to keep the band
empty, but there are few enough of those radios around that people can name
high prices and generally get them.
