In Europe, 144.492MHz is the norm (despite what the band-plans say), while everywhere else is 3kHz lower. I think I'll stick with 2m for a few more days (been getting a few spots each day) then switch to 6m.David (G0LRD)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11377879585873483008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071048343455395511.post-73143602352959122132014-08-19T16:20:23.341+01:002014-08-19T16:20:23.341+01:00There appear to be two frequencies in use on 2m an...There appear to be two frequencies in use on 2m and a LOT of people have drift issues on 2m.

At the moment I have to go and drum-up 2m activity on the WSPR front page.<br />DavidDavid (G0LRD)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11377879585873483008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071048343455395511.post-74688811692816237822014-08-18T19:00:29.840+01:002014-08-18T19:00:29.840+01:00Hi Roger,
