Our Bandplan

A few notes on our operation plans:

  • Split operation will be the process for all the bands/modes.  Operators will announce split range often; normally, we will be listening "up".

  • We will dedicate some time to listen in the US General bands on 20 and 40 phone.
    That will be announced and likely "spotted" quickly as well.

  • Propagation paths to Asia, VK/ZL, Oceania are difficult and short time-wise.  During these band openings, please allow us to operate with priority to these areas.

  • FT8 will be Fox/Hound mode.
