If you are looking for prospective times, to be QRV on the VHF, UHF and SHF bands, you should consider the certain monthly trans-regional activity contests. On 23 cm and up it is useful, to arrange skeds in the ON4KST microwave chat<\/a> and to make use of the latest Version of AirScout (by Frank, DL2ALF)<\/a> to predict QSOs via aircraft scatter.<\/p>\n

Another opportunity for activity are the Digifests<\/strong> each Wednesday, initiated by John, G4BAO, to promote the use of digital modes on the GHz bands.<\/p>\n
