You may want to check with the New Zeland equivalent of the FCC. Here in the U.S., unlicensed 435 MHz operation is limited to very low power and very small antennas. Under those conditions, 2 km may be unrealistic. Since all nations coordinate their spectrum use, it is very likely that NZ rules are similar. 72/73 de WB8RCR http://www.qsl.net/wb8rcr didileydadidah QRP-L #1446 Code Warriors #35 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Stockley" To: Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2004 5:52 PM Subject: [EE:] 2km UHF transponder ideas -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
