What radios? Clearly I'm missing something here.

I know one member was thinking about donating a radio to the space, but
that that radio has since developed a fault.

Maybe there are a lot of UHF radios floating around in a box that is
maybe lost still, but that's not really what this is for. The idea is to
have an easily accessible HF setup more than anything else.

If you can describe to me how I can go to space and use a radio that is
already there to transmit ~15-20W on 160m then OK this is not a new
capability.

Thanks,
Iain.
