What is the 17 meter band?
The World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC) bands are three portions of the shortwave radio spectrum used by licensed and/or certified amateur radio operators. They consist of 30 meters (10.100–10.150 MHz), 17 meters (18.068–18.168 MHz) and 12 meters (24.890–24.990 MHz).
What is 30m band?
30 Metres, 10.1 – 10.15MHz It is a narrow band of just 50kHz and is shared with the primary user.
Is 15 meters upper or lower sideband?
The higher frequency bands above the 30 meter band (20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, 10m, VHF, and UHF bands) utilize the upper sideband (USB), while the lower frequency bands below 30 meters (40m, 80m, 160m) use the lower sideband (LSB).
What is the call frequency on 10 meters?
The 10-meter band is a portion of the shortwave radio spectrum internationally allocated to amateur radio and amateur satellite use on a primary basis. The band consists of frequencies stretching from 28.000 to 29.700 MHz.
How far can 10 meter band go?
Even in times of solar minimum, when F2 is rarely available, 10 meters still has some long distance possibilities. Sporadic E propagation can bring in signals from a hundred to many thousands of miles away.
What ham frequency do truckers use?
Most of the time, hams that operate on the go do so either on the 2-meter VHF band from 144 to 148 MHz, or on the 70-cm UHF band from 420 to 450 MHz.
What is the most active ham band?
20 metres – 14.0–14.35 MHz – Considered the most popular DX band; usually most popular during daytime.
What is a 11 meter radio?
11 meters is often defined as 25-28 MHz / 25000-28000 kHz or 26-28 MHz / 26000-28000 kHz. It is rarely used to refer to the basically never-used 11 meter shortwave broadcast band roughly defined internationally as 25670 kHz to 26100 kHz or 25.67 MHz to 26.1 MHz.
Does 20 meterm band have a lot of background noise?
I’m making my first ventures into HF with a Yaesu FT-450D and a homebrew 20 Meter inverted-V antenna a local ham helped me set up. I’ve noticed that the 20 Meterm band seems to have lots of background noise (QRN) everywhere in the band. The S-meter is sitting at 7 constantly. By comparison, 30m is at 5, 40m is 1, and 10m is at 1.
What is the 15-meter band?
The 15-meter band (also called the 21-MHz band or 15 meters) is an amateur radio frequency band spanning the shortwave spectrum from 21 to 21.45 MHz. The band is suitable for amateur long-distance communications, and such use is permitted in nearly all countries.
What is the difference between a 40-meter and 15-meter antenna?
The 15-meter wavelength is harmonically related to that of the 40-meter band, so it is often possible to use an antenna designed for 40 meters.
