Hi Chris, For similar reasons (I live in a lousy VHF location), I also do most of my VHF/UHF operating either portable or roving. If I was able to go down to the shack and turn on some gear and opera
Good afternoon Mark, Please note that the operating time restrictions have been removed for this event. The webpage at http://www.arrl.org/10-ghz-up has been updated to reflect that, as well as the r
Ill be active during the 6m sprint tonight. I hope at least some participants try analog modes as well. Ill be on digi modes, but will call using SSB around 50.125-.130 at the top and bottom of the h
The key word here is SHOULD. "All equipment SHOULD be capable of communications at a range of at least 5 km." What we're essentially trying to prevent is having stations work each other from across t
