Hello Doug,
And thank you for the welcome and very detailed information, it's very much appreciated, those frequencies are helpful, 2mtrs can be a bit hard to work out where you should be if you are not used to it, mainly need to be sure of where you should not be. I have had a brief look at the newer digital modes like WSPR, JT65 etc, and for me I just find them like contest modes, which is for me boring, some of the best contacts I have enjoyed were very weak CW and also SSB where you need to work harder for the QSO,
it's much more satisfying, but then that's only my opinion, and I realise we don't all enjoy the same mode, now PSK is good, it usually contains a lot more than just a signal report. Okay Doug thanks again, now I have a better idea of 2 mtrs.
