Light Up 2 Meters Night… An FM Simplex Event
March 24th is Light Up 2 Meters Night from 6PM to 8PM local time. Get on the air and make as many contacts with your fellow local hams as possible and have a blast doing it. I recommend that you start off on 146.520 and move to your frequency of choice once someone comes back to you.
