Hello

All ft8 actibity in our area is on .174, the 065 frequencies tend to be in the EME section of the band. Q65 terrestrial occurs on.170 on the various bands.

Hope this helps.

See you on the bands.

Subject: Re: [NLRS] FT8 frequency on 222, 432, 1296?

I've been using 222.174 and have made several DX contacts there over the past few weeks. I haven't tried 222.065.

I saw AC0RA yesterday morning calling CQ on 222.174.
