[Antennas] Eighty Meter mobile or portable

[Adam Farson]

Hi Wayne,

80m refers (informally) to the lower half of the 3.5 - 4.0 MHz band (3.5 -
3.75 MHz). 75m refers, also informally, to the upper half (3.75 - 4.0 MHz).
The two designations are often used interchangeably in Region 2; the band is
not officially segmented in this way.

The Region 1 allocation is 3.5 - 3.8 MHz, so European hams refer to this
band as 80m, but not as 75m.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Hello,

I hope this simple question doesn't start another war.

What is the difference between 75 and 80 meters on the ham bands. Is there a
difference? They are frequently interchanged. Are the ham bands broke up
into two segments?

Best,
Wayne
