Hey Chris Long time no hear. What I can offer is pretty old and anecdotal. IMO, FN54 is not rare on 2m...there has always been 1-2 active ops there. Above 2m; not sure. To me, FN51 is quite rare. Too
Wishing you well Dave ! I'm not QRV on 222 but you have to know, I look forward to your humour every week with these messages. (not the ones where you're sick-not happy about that!) We also have been

I think I missed the peak as I didn't get home til suppertime but was alerted to the AU by fellow MCCer, Don VE9XX and was able to get on and play some CW Olde' Skool ! YAY! Best DX was K9MRI in EN70

Just wanted to give a shout out to my buddy/neighbour Paul, N1BUG (who I've been working on VHF since the late 1980's) because without seeing his messages this morning, I would've never even turned t
I'm sure you guys won't believe me, but one of the ideas(jokes) I was going to post was also pterodactyl as well! (I swear it) The other perhaps more obvious one, was Hurricane(post tropical depressi
