Other than 6 meters, is there any settled/suggested frequency list for FT8 operations in a VHF contest on 144, 222, 432, and 1296? 73 Jamie NS3T _______________________________________________ VHFcon

Here in Florida, we are using: 144.174 (used every Monday night starting around 2015 EST) 222.080 (proposed, but I doubt if it has been used) 432.174 (used every Thursday night, after the FLWSS net o
For what it's worth, the Pacific Northwest has generally agreed on these FT8 frequencies after discussion at our last conference: 50.313 144.174 222.080 432.500 1296.074 However, there is no WSJT act
Howdy all, To echo Barry, These are the frequencies that get used in the PNW.. There are a number of stations that DO run WJST modes on 144mhz and above out here outside of contests. 144 & 222 get us

In my experience in South West VE7 Land and the PNW during contests SSB / CW activity on 144 MHz generally seems to go up from 144.200 in 10 KHz steps. I realize in an area where significant SSB/CW a
