Your Right Ken .. this could be all for nothing .. but if you don't take the time to try you will not learn .. and maybe all he needs is a couple of watts to just give them enough sig in the mill for them to RX better ..
never know untill you play and learn ! .. and 220 is a fun band to play in also .. remember if we don't use it we will LOSE IT !! I know I am not allowed to play in our lower part of the 220 band because I am to close to the US boarder .. We Canadians have more of the 220 band to play with .. now only if I was about another mile or 2 north I would be fine .. :) Have a great day all !!
