Anvilbrother 0 #1 November 7, 2014 I got my Technician, and General last month. I am currently saving for a HF radio, and participating on 2 meter nets with a Baofeng HT. Once i get my HF radio, im wondering what band to build my antenna for. I hear 40 meters is a good all around band. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

OWB 8 #5 November 8, 2014 40m is good, 20m is more popular. I've made some amazing contacts on 17m mobile. Don't worry about nuthin' cause nothin's gonna be okay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anvilbrother 0 #6 November 8, 2014 I know 20M is popular, my issue with it is local work. They say its almost impossible to work people 0-200, 500 miles, and that is a more get up and get out band for DX. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.
