Talk: The Magic Band by Don Field G3XTT ---------------------------------------
Don Field G3XTT will take us through the fascinating properties of the 6m Band which results in people calling it “The Magic Band“. The propagation properties of this band, as it is nestled between the HF bands and the VHF bands, give remarkable
and often unexpected results. These propagation properties attract enthusiasts who seek out these often unpredictable properties but with incredible results.
Also, live-streaming on YouTube https://tinyurl.com/buryradio
got me interested in the 6m band. My QTH is unfortunate, so my only QSO
options are limited to portable. The 6m band would be an excellent
candidate because I could get away with a simple 3m dipole. But are
there cheap, Pixie-like transceivers for the 6m band? Is it possible to
hack a Pixie or a Rockmite and tune it for this band?
