SB QST @ ARL $ARLB013
ARLB013 FCC okays RF identification tags at 433.5 to 434.5 MHz

It's use it or loose it. I've turned on the rig several time during
commute and during the day when I get a chance. The 70cm band in RI/SE
MA is dead. Throw a call out, hear nothing back.

2M is pretty much the same. It's just too bad.
