Reasons to be on 50MHz FM
30 May 2013 | by Driving home this evening, I had the second VFO scanning through the 50 or so memories across 29/50/145 and 433MHz, with a few in between!
It doesn’t often stop on 51.51 the 50MHz FM calling frequency, but I heard a loud voice ask someone to move to 51.530. I stopped the scan and tuned there.
The station had an English accent, so I guessed it was a local or an expat. Of course, it turned out to be the latter; EA7/G0WHX. He was a great signal working a G4 I couldn’t hear. There was a little fading, but I listened to the QSO for around 15 minutes.
A great reminder to call on 51.510 a bit more often! You never know who’s listening!
