Gee TOM....do you think you had problem on the "National Simplex Frequency" of 146.52 because you are NOT SUPPOSED TO USE IT for contesting? Just a thought. Dan/W4NTI Thanks Dan... I was wrong it appears... I checked the FD rules and found this item at the end of the list: [snip] 9. Miscellaneous: 9.3. Remember that the national simplex FM calling frequency of 146.52 MHz should not be used for making Field Day contacts. [snip] It does raise an interesting question... there was nobody to hear my FD calls on 52? It appears that the National Simplex Calling Frequency wasn't monitored that day through a large portion of state. There was nobody to say, "Hey fellow, no FD on 52!" Perhaps my FD calls on 52 really did reveal an inadequacy of amateur emergency communications---at least in this state. of course not, everyone was busy on real fd stuff. and there is no requirement that anyone monitor that frequency any time anyway... i have it in my scan sequence and it rarely gets a hit. |
