[CQ-Contest] Very basic question on 80M for upcoming CQWW SSB

[Bob Kupps]

Hi HS 80m band limits are 3500-3540 all modes. So I imagine not many ops have worked HS on 80m phone so HS0ZKX and I are going to try M2 category this year just so we can park a station down there with a voice keyer calling CQ all night long trying to work split up into the usual phone band...NB there is still no 160m SSB allowed in HS.

VK Band limits on 75M SSB are from 3774 -3800 KHz


Look for the stations above 3780 and below 3796


There will be plenty of VK in there specially around greyline.


Hope that helps - will be on air as VK4KW

I was licensed in 1953,easily  have DXCC on each band above 80M, but have never made a DX QSO on 75M SSB.  So want to play in the upcoming contest.  Looks like a dipole will get me about 80 KHz of usable SWR without running out to the antenna to retune in the middle of the night.  So where do I want to be to be able to work EU, VK, JA, etc, simplex and not be in the big boy's domain?  My station is typically better than the operator!  Sorry for the newbie question.  Thanks,  N0UU
