Never use FM, hardly SSB too. I'm a CW man on 6m. Shed loads of QSL
cars for CW contacts on this band.

I my gawd, another band that I rarely use. Too many of those cb'ers
on there. I have more QSL cards for CW on this band than any other.

My favourite band for FM working. Plenty of useful repeaters and
sensible users for some reason. Yeah I know that things vary from
area to area but in these parts we all seem to hang out on 70cm.

Perhaps I'm fullfilling my childhood fantasy to own a 23cms rig and
try something different. I'm already eying up a 20 turn helix on a
tripod to carry up my local mountain and see how far I can work.
As for handhelds in general,well I do find I use mine quite a bit
rather than leave them in a drawer for months like many others do
and then only bring it out just to check the bteries are flat ;-)
