Dig out your 220 radios and dust them off. In early December 2009 " The 220 MHZ Guys" created a "220 Preservation Net." The goal was to protect our access to the remaining portions of the 1.25M Amateur Radio band. The net is held on the CFMC north 220 machine on 224.100 Mhz. The machine is carrier access. No PL is required. The net will run each Saturday evening at 2000 hours sharp. Please spread the word. This is the first and only 220 net in this area.
Remember 'activity nights'? Remember the FCC giving Novice class licensees access to 220 and our hopes of populating it and scaring UPS away? Remember K9XI's 220 Notes?
Many of the new tri- and quad-band HTs have 222, although at reduced output. There is also at least one new mobile for 222.
This band could sure use a resurgence !!!!
