G2E08
In what segment of the 20-meter band are most digital mode operations commonly found?
- A.At the bottom of the slow-scan TV segment, near 14.230 MHz
- B.At the top of the SSB phone segment, near 14.325 MHz
- C.In the middle of the CW segment, near 14.100 MHz
- D.Between 14.070 MHz and 14.100 MHz (correct answer)
WhyMost digital mode activity on the 20 meter band is found between 14.070 MHz and 14.100 MHz. Most digital mode activity on 20 meters clusters between 14.070 and 14.100 MHz, a segment set aside by convention for RTTY and other data modes, answer D. The SSTV segment near 14.230, the SSB segment near 14.325, and the CW segment near 14.100 (just above, not within, the digital window) are all different parts of the band.
