is it possible to clone a list of freq over the net ?
onto the baofeng

I could upload a file, but it is just a easy to work off the list discussed in the Frequencies of Note thread I would say?

As the number of people with capable radios seems to be growing

Can everyone take time to listen out on one-seven-two MHz in their local area over the next few weeks please?

This is one of the frequencies that can be allocated on a temporary basis, so it may prove to be a good one for RVs and the like. But it is also has potential if the SHTF as a general calling channel for us. But first, it is worth finding out if it especially busy anywhere.

Please do not transmit on this at the moment, this is just an exercise in seeing if the frequency is a busy one. Thanks

Any idea of times?

[Malthouse]

As and when you can really, working hours are probably the most likely to be busy but also if there is a festival or other event going on locally then they may well use it.

I can't remember the frequencies the Goose Fair use, but that is the sort of thing.

Currently listening, absolutely nothing on that as yet but I'll continue to monitor and roam around the area a bit for the next few weeks.
