    I have to agree -- in spite of my misgivings at the time, it has 
worked out pretty well.  IIRC, we were on 145.01 and several other 
frequencies, IN ADDITION to the "APRS frequency" of 145.79.  The only 
negative reaction I have seen since the QSY was when a group of 2-meter 
SSB enthusiasts found out about the QSY over a year after it happened!
