[Moon] 144.070-144.160MHz digital EME band?

[Jim Forsyth]

What nonsense. You have taken an innocent comment in a description of the 
MAP65 program and blown it up to be a big problem where there is none.
There is no one man decision, there is  no decision at all, just a 
discussion of the capabilities of a software program.
