10 Meter SSB freqs
Hi gang,
Ok, with the declining nature of the current solar cycle, I figure I just about have time to build a dream project before the next peak hits. ;) My plan is for the following: Handheld xcvr (not cell phone tiny, more like the size of a larger brick). Long loaded telescoping whip antenna SSB 2-4 W output. I plan to use either a synthesizer I have been playing with, or some incantation of the "Huff & Puff" stabilizer. However, I need to pick a range of frequencies for it as that will have a dramatic impact on the synth/H & P circuitry. Since I have never spent much time on 10, I wondering what the common wisdom is for where the SSB activity is on this band. I would like to keep the tuning range down to 100KHz if possible, but especially with the H & P idea, I could go to say, 500KHz. Any thoughts? Bob 'POQ |

If you have to stick with a 100KHz swath, 28400-28500 is the segment to use - and you'll find plenty of activity there. If you can expand the coverage it's worthwhile to cover 28300-28700. (actually if it were my project I'd do 28000-28500 and provide for CWgrin) -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |
