Hi Guys

Just was curious after reading about the 6 meter opening posts and how much
fun it can be and was wondering about 2 meters. Is there enough activity and
how wide use does it receive?

I recently put the XV144 on the air using my K2 as the IF and an 11 
element beam at 50 feet to get started in weak signal VHF and have 
found a good bit of activity in my area in a 150 mile radius. I have 
heard stations in Mississippi and South Carolina but wasn't able to 
raise them with the 20W out of the XV144.

I think the excitement is in the hunt and am looking forward to 
spending more time tuned to 2 meters - I am currently building 
another K2 so I can keep this one monitoring 2M (and other bands in 
the future) and use the new on HF.

YMMV
