Where I’m from, 2m band seems to be popular due to the small antenna requirement. The fact we’re in densely populated area probably also play a role.

There should be the 70cm band as well, but I haven’t seen any sign of life around here.

    That’s a ham indeed…

    What do you usually find on that weekly net?

      Maybe half a dozen people, but usually nobody has much to say. My dad is in a larger city these days and he says about the same.

      I think all the yappers are on 80, I sold my long range equipment years ago because I couldn’t listen to the stupid. I still have a 10m rig that I’ll fire up if the skip is active.
