10GHz and Up Contest
(lemmy.radio)
Everything VHF and up!
FM, SSB, WSJT-X, SOTA, microwaves, there is a lot the bands 50MHz and up have to offer.
Yes. Usually one person is on a mountain top, and the other is on a different mountain or the valley. Microwaves are mostly LOS, but can and do go farther. Mt Diablo to Frazier Mountain is a popular path here in CA. Last year I heard people coordinating contracts from Frazier to somewhere near Quartzite.
This weekend might provide a lot of rain scatter opportunities for the SoCal hams.
Cool, I'd love to hear how it went if you post anything about it.
I made some decent contacts. My setup seems a bit deaf, so I'll have to figure out why.
Cool, did rain mess things up or do the drops expand your range by reflecting or something?
No rain in NorCal, but people down south were making rain scatter contacts.
