| Please be aware that on 2m there are some spot frequencies which are named in the 144MHz Band Plan which it would be wise to avoid for the UKAC contest :- Firstly, NO SSB below 144.150MHz or you will lose points ! Specifically 144.370 which is the MGM calling Frequency (MGM is machine generated mode activity such as JT65 and FSK441) but also consideration should be shown for:-
144.175 Microwave talkback Finally a link to ALL the current RSGB Band Plans Click here ! April 2019
