Flavours Challenge - Discussion 3.

[F5JKK]

Hi all
Lol

@G8ADD

Today only the top tier of UK licenses can access 5 MHz. Some administrations won’t permit operation on 50MHz, some won’t permit operation on Top Band, and there are other odd exclusions around the world. If your license class or regulations won’t permit you to take part in a challenge that is regrettable but not a reason why the challenge should be scrapped.

Brian that’s a bit different as you tel me at the end of the 1st “Flavours” Challenge - Discussion 1, when asked to add 60m to the challenge :

"The problem with 60m is not only that some countries don’t have access to it, but that there are countries with large ham populations that do not have access to the “international band” or have access to just part of it, for instance the USA still only have five channels, one of which falls in the international band. I would suggest that a 60m flavour be delayed until the FCC see sense! "

You can see here what can I do in one USA 60m channel since 13 march 2020 :

42 States, 129 DXCC and 29 WAZ - yes in FT8 mode

I prefer Tom @M1EYP response :

"I think 60m is a good shout. It is available in many more countries than it used to be, but certainly not all. As such, maybe it could be added into the LF Flavour, making it 160m/80m/60m? "

With all respect 73 Éric
