Jose- Hi and good evening.
Thanks for asking a good question about 75/80 meters. --- Jose HF Silva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The (old) sets and books and tables and slang were > always referring 80m band (3.5 - 3.8 MHz). You are certainly correct here. The lower portion of the band does refer to 80 meters and usually narrow modes like CW and digital. > The 75m correspond to 4.0 MHz Actually the upper portion say 3.8-4.0 Mhz can be called 75 meters. It relates to the wide band modes such as sideband and AM being used in this segement also. I really believe it is a matter of semantics Jose. Especially with amateurs who have been around since the time AM was a more mainstream voice mode years ago (me included). I hope this may add to your amateur radio knowledge. I am proud to know you and that you asked. Others who view this maybe asking themselves the same question. Best 73's, Bob K5SEP Kilowatt Five Sporadic E Propagation
