Ham Radio: VHF Contest - 6 Meters (50 Mhz) band was open nicely! (KA4UDX - Video recording)

01-22-2011 Sunday - Operations on the VHF band Upper Sideband during the VHF Contest. The 6 meter band had fairly good propagation today. This band is not always open and usually relies on special conditions called Sporadic-E or other atmosperic ducting to allow DX contacts.




VHF Contest, KA4UDX on 6-Meters listening up and down and making contacts. This is slice 1 of 4.

In the beginning of the video I had not yet adjusted the MIC input of the Logitech Web Cam - so the audio was hitting to hard. I quickly adjusted volumes to keep the level below clipping. Notice a classic around 20 minutes … I told some jerk “Really your gonna whistle on here.” There are people that must go around the bands looking for difficult conditions in QSOs and they whistle over it.
