The 1240 band (aka 1.2 GHz or 23 cm band) is popular and open to all
class of hams. Work satellites, amateur television (ATV), repeaters and more!
One of the least used bands, the 900 band (33 cm) has plenty of room to grow.
Experiment!
The very popular 440 band (70 cm) is the lowest amateur frequency band still
considered UHF. Here you'll find specialty clubs and organizations using, among
other things, satellite communications, amateur television (ATV), packet
transmissions, RTTY, and FAX. FM voice repeater traffic is abundant.
The 222 band (1-1/4 Meter) is a popular Novice ham hangout. Technician Class
no-coders also visit here, as the band is similar in propagation and use to the
ever-popular 2 meter band. The 222 is the highest amateur band considered to be
VHF.
The most popular repeater band in the world! 2 meter band traffic (2M) is heavy
in handheld and mobile communication. Technician Class no-coders have unlimited
privileges! NOTE! 2 meter band plans may vary in major metropolitan areas
throughout the country. See your local ICOM dealer for more details.
Get a taste of long-range skip communications using the 6 meter band. You can
often make cross-country connections during the summer months, thanks to the way
the 6 meter signals are refracted by the ionosphere.
