72 MHZ is still a viable frequency and will be for some time to come . perhaps years. For a club to suddenly estashish a new technolgy at the exclusion of all others is in my opinion a bit dictorial, since both can work very nicy to0gether, If this is the way the menbers want there club to be run then that is to their detrement.It woud seem that thyis is a godd place to start a new club with a demacratic form o0f mangment to benifit the majority of menbers rather than a few hard headed leaders that have decided that what they nwant is good for everyboby.
