Working VHF DX is a lot of fun, but it can be challenging. In this video, I’ll show you the tools I use to work VHF from -20 to 40 over.
The 6 and 2 meter bands can be a lot of fun, after all, they don’t call 6m the magic band for nothing. These bands come to life as we come out of winter and head towards summer. In the southern states of Australia, 6 meter activity kicks of late October with big signals from one end of the country to the other, even New Zealand, JA, and beyond.
There are two methods of VHF propagation, tropospheric ducting, and Sporadic E.
