Fun with 2 meter simplex - Marvin VE3VCG - 2021-04-16
I've had some interesting 2 meter simplex contacts since I was first licensed. This year I promised myself to push the envelope a bit and put up a 2 meter beam antenna. I bought a used tower, which I hope to get up once covid restrictions are lifted and the weather warms, so have now purchased the 2 meter beam as well. The real fun of radio for me is trying new things.
Here's someone who, like me, likes to see how far he can get on 2 meter simplex. Aside from being fun, I think it would be great to establish a 2 meter simplex net. If the repeaters are down we can still talk simplex. If you like the idea send me a private message and we can get something going.
