[OZAPRS] 70 cm APRS frequencies

[matthew.cook at tekelek.com.au]

This is the frequency that we are pushing ahead with in VK5.   We hope to
have an experimental 9600 baud UHF APRS box in by early next year....   I
think not having 439.100 in the band plan designated for packet is going
to
make licensing any fixed service with the ACA a tad difficult, without WIA
TAC approval.    It's a pity this was not included in the last round of
band plan changes.

Just thought I would fill you in as to what VK5 are looking to do up on
70cm

Cheers
