Using an Icom 746 Pro here which includes HF/6M/2M with a full 100W on all
bands. I have been on HF since 1995 and an avid DX'r and secretly sneered
at VHF/UHF but did want to try 2M SSB.

I now have VHF antennas at 72' 90' and 95' and am net control and founder of
the Deep South 2 Meter SSB Net.
There was very little 2M SSB traffic in my region when I got on 2M SSB but
since the net started on April 8, 2005 we have now had over 100 2M SSB
stations check-in representing 10 states so far.

Typically there are 25-35 or more O(record is 39) check-ins every evening.
So..for those that say there is little 2M SSB activity why not stir some
up???!!!???

I've been on HF for years, but am new to VHF/UHF.

I'm thinking of getting a VHF/UHF base station and it looks like the only
thing around is the ICOM IC-910H. Is there a reason for this? Because of
this, it seems to me that most people must not have a base station for
these bands.

Is this correct?
