"TOP BAND" refers to the highest wavelength band available to the radio amateur in the USA (at present).
If you have Microsoft "Outlook Express", Goto the View Folders functions and bring up the "newsgroups" list. If it is the first time, it will take a while online to load the list! Then you can select a search term like "radio" and it will bring up all the "groups" with that term in its name. There is a bunch of them dealing with ham radio etc. Also you might try looking them up on qrz.com. Think they have links to various groups. Or even try the "Google" search engine online and it will keep you busy for hours searching for the groups that deal with what you are interested in. Old time radio can be found on the "glowbugs" and "boatanchor" groups. Ditto "specialty" groups like PSK31, etc. Hope this helps. 73, Sandy W5TVW ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 07, 2004 2:10 PM Subject: [Elecraft] 3 questions | Question 1: With 160 meters being the LOWEST band in frequency, why is it | referred to as TOP band? | | Question 2: If there are more appropriate lists for discussing ham radio | related topics of general interest, what are they? | | Question 3: What amateur radio related lists do you yourself value belonging | to? | | So far I've only found the Elecraft and QRP-L groups to be of lasting | interest. | | Thanks, Bill | _______________________________________________ | Elecraft mailing list | Post to: [email protected] | http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft | You must subscribe to post. | Subscriber Info (Addr.
