			<description>I'm curious as to why you chose 28.4 (a recognized calling frequency) for use of your Nets, and in particular why you use FM mode? Your Nets are a continual disruption to other hams and it is my opinion that you are making more enemies then friends with your odd practices. I'm not trolling or trying to create a problem for you as my curiousity is genuine.</description>
