When do you find the 2 meter band the most busy, or when do most of the guys talk in your area, are there a lot of 2 meter clubs in your town??? |

There is a 2 meter net every day at 1930 here, I am sure there are more, but I havent been up to Roswell in a while to talk to the Ham guys to see where. |

I think the busiest here (local) is 7am to 8am, then again at 4pm to 5pm. Now if I have one of my wake up can't sleep days.... 3:30am.... I point the 5 element yagi toward SF bay (200 miles) and listen/talk to the commuters going to work.... only works before the sun comes up tho. Lose it after sunrise... |

That is cool CA346 , I like the 2 meter, I found my HT scanner, I read the instructions and it is supposed to monitor 2 meter,10, and 6, but I do not hear them on 146640 when they are talking, I also dropped it to 146635, nothing , but it scans. |

Have you tried connecting your outside antenna to the HT with a BNC-SMA adapter? It will make a noticable difference in reception. |
