[amsat-bb] L-band question

[David J. Schmocker]

Everyone:
A genuine newby to satellites, I plan to get QRV with U/V bands as soon as
I can (likely few months yet) due to difficulty procuring the orbital ring
rotors required to clear the trees at my QTH.

My goal is to work as many DXCCs over time as possible (and probably WAS
too).   Given this goal, is L-band helpful (will there be even 1 or more
new DXCC QRV on L-band that is easier or not workable on U/V) vs.
conventional U/V bands or should I stick with U/V given my
interests/goals? 

Thank you 73,

Dave KJ9I
