BH6BXK Hi, I just happened to connect with someone who was participating in a nationwide CQ (calling) contest but didn't manage to get through. Are there any places where announcements about such contests are posted? 😭🤚🏻 Also, is it set as a local repeater for both up and down frequencies, or are there specific frequency offsets and audio tones used? Does anyone know the process...? The newbie is very confused 😭
BH2VSQ 480 isn't a legitimate channel; it feels like a local, commercial, or even an illegal/private channel ( ).
BH6BXK BI5UNC It should have been transmitted via the repeater ( ), and my small K6 rubber antenna picked up calls from Beijing, Hainan, and Shandong. However, the downlink was not from the repeater, but a direct frequency 🤔
BH6BXK BG5CVB I tried calling multiple times, but it seemed like I didn't get any response… I directly initiated a call without setting up an emergency channel. 🤔
