I've experienced some of this problem in the past too. I believe part of the problem is that as you go up in freq, low angle radiation (ground wave) is easier to achieve but the ground absorption increases too. 15 meters seemed to be the best compromise. That is, 10m had good low angle but high

222 mhz will work just fine try it. Either 160 or 2 meters are the best bets. Jim WA0LYK __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com Need a Digital mode QSO? Connect to

John, NVIS only works on the lower bands, and even 80 meters can go long in the later evening after 8 or 9 pm local. You need to monitor the FoF2 to get a feel for the highest frequency possible for NVIS operation. The other night, one of the stations who has a high dipole of about 70 feet

On flat terrain, on 10M FM with 50 watts and a 1/4 wave groundplane at 30ft on both ends for the link, you should be able to work each other at distances of 20-30 miles with no problem. I've done this quite regularlly on 29.6MHz-35Mhz (commercial above 10M). On 6M (52.525MHz), with the same

I think 1000hz is what most OLIVIA ops use, and works fine with my 480SAT which can be set to center on either 1000 or 1500 hz. John VE5MU - Original Message - From: John Becker To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, October 27, 2006 8:19 AM Subject:

Even though the license authorized 50.3-50.8 MHz, I stayed away from the AM calling frequency. The only frequency used so far is 50.7 MHz, so the signal covers 50.625-50.775 MHz and the FCC occupied bandwidth (-27 dB) is within 50.6-50.8 MHz. 73, John KD6OZH - Original Message -
