Hi all, this next week end I will be active from DL70 and DK79 on fm sats as much as my family allowed me. Just in case of anybody needs those grids. See you on the air. Bert / XE1FZE

And your lack of knowledge is just as bad.

Gordon is several hundred miles from the games. You might not have noticed but 70cM doesn't go that far and if the games get interfearance from satellite downlinks then there is nothing we can do about it.

If you need grid EL28 confirmed, please email me off-list. I will have an opportunity to activate it within the next 24 hours.

Thanks, Clayton W5PFG

You may be missing the point a little.

This has been widely trumpeted in the more US-centric mailing lists as "everyone in the UK is banned from 70cm for ever!!111!!!"

Maybe *you* should stay off 70cm too, just in case by some chance a freak of propagation causes your signal to scoot across the pond and interfere with the London olympic games. Note that I say *London* olympics. That's because they're (mostly) in London. The exclusion zone is around London, too.

Notice where London is? It's in the south of England. Notice my callsign at the end of each email I send? Where is it from?

You are closer to San Francisco by a comfortable margin than I am to London. How well do you manage to work into Fresno on 70cm?
