Have you guys heard of the 600 meter experimental group? quote:NEWINGTON, CT, Sep 15, 2006 -- (As of September 13, 2006) The FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology has granted a Part 5 experimental license to the ARRL on behalf of a group of radio amateurs interested in investigating spectrum in the vicinity of 500 kHz. Experimental license WD2XSH was issued September 13. The two-year authorization permits experimentation and research between 505 and 510 kHz (600 meters) using narrowband modes at power levels of up to 20 W effective radiated power (ERP). ARRL Member Fritz Raab, W1FR, of Vermont, will serve as experimental project manager for "The 500 KC Experimental Group for Amateur Radio." Also, General class ham checkin' in

happy purring catfish posted:Ahaha, I knew the subject of 435 would surface eventually. That repeater is basically the retard bin that keeps mentally damaged operators from infesting the other repeaters. edit: haha hell yeah, it's still there - http://www.435online.com Halah fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Apr 18, 2008 |

Hu Fa Ted posted:Well, his comment was that it sounded like I had a spark gap generator next to the microphone. For this test, I had the engine on and revving so if it was noise getting into my transmitted audio I would think this test would actually be fairly valid. If there were QRM or QRN near me or on top of me that shouldn't have given me a bad audio report (and I mean this guy was a dick so that may have been it.) He didn't ID so I have no idea how far away he was but he was an easy S7 or S8.

Mister Fister posted:Just out of curiosity, how do people sound on Ham Radio? They're really low frequency waves, so it sounds bad, right? Edit: I just moved to a new area, so I'm finding all kinds of resources. Here is a recording of some of the activity taking place around 146 mHz.

Jose Pointero posted:Damnit, I need to do the application for my plate...y'all are making me jealous. I'm kinda afraid too though, because isn't having a radio operator plate the equivalent of having a sign that says "HEY THIEVES CHECK DIS CAR FOR LOTS OF EXPENSIVE RADIO poo poo"? I should just go ahead and get a drat alarm installed.
