We developed our operating schedule and frequency plan to balance operations across bands and operating modes to the major population centers of the world. The frequency plan was contigent on actual band conditions and was modified as needed to make contacts and keep QSO rates high.
| Band | Mode | Population Centers | No. Hours | Percent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 MHZ - 10 Meters | SSB |
|
8 Hours | 17% |
| 21 MHZ - 15 Meters | SSB |
|
16 Hours | 33% |
| 14 MHZ - 20 Meters | SSB |
|
10 Hours | 20% |
| 7.1 MHZ - 40 Meters | CW |
|
7 Hours | 15% |
| 3.6 MHZ - 80 Meters | CW |
|
7 Hours | 15% |
| Totals | 48 Hours | 100% |
We operated part of the time in the Novice class segments of the 80 Meter band (3.675 - 3.725 MHz), 40 Meter band (7.100 - 7.125 MHz), and 10 Meter band (28.300 - 28.500 MHz) and in the General class segments of the 20 Meter band (14.225 - 14.350 MHz) and 15 Meter band (21.300 - 21.450 MHz).
