FYI... If someone says, "I like the low bands," I know that they mean 40/80/160. The "high" bands are (before WARC) 20, 15, and 10.
ON4UN's book, covering operations on 40/80 and especially 160 is titled LOW BAND DXING. http://www.angelfire.com/md/k3ky/page20.html "If you like DXing on the low bands, 160, 80, 40, and 30 meters, these sites may be of interest- they include info about both TX and low noise receiving antennas and techniques." http://www.n0hr.com/hamradio/136/10/ham_radio0.htm Ham Radio: Low bands (160, 80, 40) "Description: Low band topics. Ham radio operators consider the 160 meter, 80/75 meter, and 40 meter bands to be the low bands. These bands present challenges to ham radio antenna design (especially on small lots), propagation (these bands are best at dawn and dusk - aka grayline propagation), and noise (these bands often have weather related noise)." Since I never use the "band" toggle anymore (everything I need is in the front panel memory buttons), this is moot for me. But the current labeling does make perfect sense to me, so I won't be adding any additional labels. de Doug KR2Q _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
