This 6 Meter Antenna Will Make DX Better!

Post author By admin
Post date October 21, 2022

The Moxon antenna is a popular directional 2 element beam antenna that takes up less space (75%) than a standard yagi.

Our Field Day is coming up, so we decided to build one for the 6 meter band and demonstrate the fun that can be had building and experimenting with antennas!

How to Call CQ for the FIRST Time on Ham Radio

Post author By admin
Post date October 20, 2022

To start a contact, the best way is to call "CQ". A CQ is a general call to get a random contact.

Before calling CQ, listen to find a clear frequency. If the frequency seems clear, ask if the frequency is in use. If nobody replies, you’re clear to call. Keep your CQ very short. If no one answers, call again. If you call CQ three or four times and don’t get a response, try another frequency.

Ionospheric Propagation on 50MHz | 6 Meters the “Magic” Band

Post author By admin
Post date October 17, 2022

It’s called “the magic band”. Propagation of 50MHz signals over long distances is supported by serendipitous opportunities that arise in the ionosphere, in both the E and F regions. Those opportunities may be anticipated, but cannot be reliably forecast. You’ve gotta be there when they happen! Then, it’s magic.

Roger VK2ZRH will be covering the characteristics of ionospheric sporadic-E propagation (Es), trans equatorial propagation (TEP), and ionospheric F2 propagation. He has extensive experience in this area having previously worked for the IPS Space Weather Services Research / Engineering branch.

This presentation is also very timely with some of the early 50MHz openings to Japan occurring just this week, right at the start of the summer 50MHz DX season.

This presentation is done in conjunction with the Amateur Radio Experimenters Group: https://www.areg.org.au/
