Which ham bands use USB?
Frequencies for LSB and USB in amateur radio voice communication. When single-sideband is used in amateur radio voice communications, it is common practice that for frequencies below 10 MHz, lower sideband (LSB) is used and for frequencies of 10 MHz and above, upper sideband (USB) is used.
Is ham radio AM or FM?
Hams can operate from just above the AM broadcast band to the microwave region, in the gigahertz range. Many ham bands are found in the frequency range that goes from above the AM radio band (1.6 MHz) to just above the citizens band (27 MHz).
What is the range of a 2 meter ham radio?
On VHF frequencies such as 2-meters, antenna height greatly influences how far one can talk. Typical reliable repeater range is about 25 miles (40 km). Some repeaters in unusually high locations, such as skyscrapers or mountain tops, can be usable as far out as 75 miles (121 km).
Which ham bands are best at night?
In general, the lower bands, 80 and 160 meters are best at night because of daytime D layer absorption. 30 and 40 meters typically work both night and day but daytime distances are limited because greater distances require lower propagation angles, which, in turn, mean longer paths through the D layer.
