Two Meter AM is going strong in Europe. Here's a report about some cross-channel contacts from the Netherlands to England etc. on 144 MHz AM!
Looks like they use 144.55 MHz there, just up from our 144.450 MHz calling frequency. Some of you with the old tube 2m AM rigs would be surprised what you can do with them with just a few watts. = = = In view of the VHF contest activity this evening (5 Sept) http://www.vushf.dk/sider/contest/contestsoz.htm http://www.vhfcc.org/rules/06rules/2006calendar.html and also the potentially promising tropo condx http://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo_nwe.html I'm hoping to be QRV this evening from a /P location from about 19:00 local time (=17:00 UTC) The evenings are getting shorter now so I may only have abt 60 - 90mins of useful operating time (before it gets too dark) My main operating mode is J3E - but my /P 2m station is "A3E capable" I'll try to remember to put some calls out in the direction of the UK on 144,550 (+/- QRM) Otherwise if anyone hears me on another mode/QRG then I would be happy to QSY and try for a contact on AM 73 Paul pe7b Yahoo!
