I found the following whilst looking for some information on a 10 meter (28 to 30 mhz) repeater...

The frequencies around 29.575MHz are used by repeaters & during periods of high solar activity or during sparodic E periods it's not only very busy. But it is also capable of very long distances.
There have been a number of decent sunspots of late & 10 meters has been in radio terms "Wide open" or very good at transferring signals & I have made several American & even a odd Australian contact using just a few watts (Under 30) And anyone even using a very low powered hand held radio would find themselves heard all over Europe & even well beyond...
Oh & amateur have something called intruder watch..This is where pirates..Thats those unlicensed to use our frequencies are monitored & reported, sometimes via a foreign radio authority.. |
