It's summer and there should be some 2m propigation from where I
am, Israel, to Europe. I had a 2m 3 element beam which was destroyed
because it was stored with the elements still on it. It has been fixed
and I was thinking of setting it up horizontaly and calling CQ on
144.200 USB.

Obviously I would like to call CQ on a frequency were people are listing.

What is the current 2m SSB calling frequency?

Thanks in advance and 73,

Geoff: SSB/CW calling freq is 144.300, better from your location (people will love ya!)
is 144.370 in FSK441. Best is to get onto the ON4KST 144 MHz chatsite on occasion to see
what "todays" options are. Read up on FSK441 for MS, even with a small setup (abt 100W
ERP) QSO's can be made up to 1000 miles or so.

See http://www.on4kst.com/chat/start.php registration required to prevent abuse. About
6200 folks have already registered, during good openings and contests about 300 logins and
abt 100+ die-hards are usually there. It's also the best place to get any info you want
abt VHF+. Everyone there is quite helpfull!
