Thankfully, this situation has changed \nover the last 10 years, thanks to the all in one radios that are on \nthe market.  I myself have gone from no 70cm SSB capability, to no \nfewer than 3 suitable radios in the last year.  2m SSB was a lot more \ncommon here, has been for many years.  I've had 2m SSB myself for \nover 10 years, and have at least 4 radios now that can do it.\n\nAs you'd expect, HF is common down here, but are VHF/UHF FM only \nradios, both mobile and HTs, especially near the major cities.\n\n\n>Most folks had  HF gear to start off in ham radio.

I didn't have an all band HF transceiver until 2000, when \nsecondhand prices had come down enough, and I had the money to pick \none up secondhand.  Still got that radio too. :)\n\n\n>Nowadays there is a LOT of  VHF/UHF multi mode gear floating around\n>the used market for reasonable prices.

There has never been a better time to \ntry SSB on the birds.\n\n>Hams are supposed to be resourceful and innovative!\n>\n>And I went and sold my FT-847 which was about the most expensive rig I\n>ever\n>bought!

This will be used both terrestrially (I have used one \nto gather telemetry from a balloon launch on 70cm) and hopefully on \nthe sats.  These days it's good how a simply HF upgrade can give one \nso much more.  And there's the bonus FT-736 as a \"hand me down\" from \na ham friend, in appreciation for the help I've given him over the \nyears with antennas and other projects. :)\n\n73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL\nhttp://vkradio.com\n\n",
