Chris Deacon G4IFX of the UK Six Metre Group (UKSMG) will be with us for
all things 50MHz including how to work Dx on 6 and how best to take
advantage of the forthcoming Sporadic ‘E’ Season. We hope!
Venue: Woodford Park, Woodley, 8pm as usual, Thursday 26th April.
For me, it’s a fascinating band sharing properties of HF and VHF. It’s
also fun waking Ian G8NXJ up by putting a call out on 51.51MHz FM when
he’s having a nap in the shack.
For full license holders, you do have to be a bit careful with that as
we are only secondary users in the ‘top end’ of the band (51MHz-52MHz)
and limited to 100W rather than the ‘usual’ 400W. For me, 5W from Earley
is usually enough to wake him. Also repeaters GB3AM (50.84/77Hz) and
GB3FX (50.81/82.5Hz).
Talk suitable for all levels of expertise. Newcomers most welcome.
http://www.uksmg.org/landing.php is the UK Six Metre Group website so
you can get your questions ready beforehand.
Coffee, tea and biscuits will be in plentiful supply.
