Add 222, its an awesome band, perhaps our premier VHF band (propagation wise). You can work aurora and meteor scatter modes. Can't do that on 1296. You can build good performing antennas (if you so choose to help save $$) as antenna dimensions are not overly critical .... its like 2m, only better. If your IF rig is capable, you can also work (should I say it ?) 223.5 FM. In the Twin Cities, we have more 223 FM activity than we do 1296 FM activity. After that, add 1296. Hope to work you on 222 soon !! 73, Jon W0ZQ |
