Coming up quickly is the next ham in a day class. Get registered. Let’s get you on the air and playing radio. Lots of rare DX operations going on.

02/10/2026

Starting February 13, the FCC will restrict
U.S. amateur radio stations from operating at 100 watts on 5.357 MHz, limiting power to just 9.5 watts on that frequency.

To continue operating at 100 watts, many U.S. DXers will move their FT8 activity to a new frequency: 5.371.5 MHz, effective the same date.

Operators are encouraged to inform friends, club
members, and relevant news outlets about this change to ensure a smooth transition.

While many other countries will continue using the original frequency, it is important to notify anyone planning DXpeditions of the U.S. shift to 5.371.5 MHz.

Reminder- next ham in a day or upgrade in a day is on Eventbrite. If you do for some reason fail a class. I do not re charge for taking class. I will give you a code to use to 00.00 class out. I want you to pass. Not pay over and over again. We do not and never will charge for taking just a test!! Regardless of how many times it takes to pass it. We don’t punish anyone for anxiety!! Ham radio does that for us. 🥸😝🫠🫣. Contact K9LOT if any questions.

Now- Let’s play radio!!!
