Thought about this, I have 1.2Ghz on my radio and a small beam, and 
instead, I'm just putting it up for terrestrial stuff on 1.2Ghz for now. 
Going 432/144 only on the az/el rotor for now just to reduce 
complexity.  SF Bay area, last I played with this, had repeaters on 1.2, 
many dead, though sometimes people were quite surprised when I called in 
on them. I did actually manage to talk to people on this band.  Got 
pretty good range too.
