Hi Folks,
There is a MARS/DOD Net on 5.330.50 USB every day at noon until October 26. They are seeking amateur radio check-ins from around
New England.
General, Advanced, and Amateur Extra licensees may operate on these five channels on a secondary basis. Remember strict 60 meter
power limitations for hams exist.
>From ARRL:
The effective radiated power limit in the 60 meter band is raised by 3 dB, from 50 W PEP to 100 W PEP, relative to a half-wave
dipole. If another type of antenna is used, the station licensee must maintain a record of either the antenna manufacturer's data on
the antenna gain or calculations of the antenna gain.
