During a VHF/UHF contest, in which band segment would you expect to find the highest level of SSB or CW activity?
- A.At the top of each band, usually in a segment reserved for contests
- B.In the middle of each band, usually on the national calling frequency
- C.In the weak signal segment of the band, with most of the activity near the calling frequency (correct answer)
- D.In the middle of the band, usually 25 kHz above the national calling frequency
WhyDuring a VHF/UHF contest, the heaviest SSB and CW activity is found in each band's weak signal segment, clustered near the calling frequency. During a VHF/UHF contest, the heaviest SSB and CW activity tends to cluster in each band's weak-signal segment, concentrated around the national calling frequency where stations first make contact before moving off to work the actual exchange, answer C. There's no dedicated contest segment at the top of the band the way this option describes, and activity isn't centered in the middle of the band or offset a fixed 25 kHz from the calling frequency.
