Hope we don't see VHF or UHF traders soon.

  There aren't a lot of advantages to VHF/UHF over the direct microwave links that they're already using (and a handful of disadvantages), so it's probably not likely. The big perceived advantage to HF is eliminating all of the hops, despite the dramatically reduced bandwidth. With VHF/UHF, you'd still need the hops, but you also have reduced bandwidth. If you need to hop, might as well make use of the bandwidth that you can get with microwave.

  "What is name of the shortwave band in the RF spectrum? High Frequency, HF, right? So, what should we use it for? Of course, High Frequency Trading over High Frequency!"
