The Big Multimode Nets 2016
Just a reminder that on Monday 27th June 2016 stations across the UK (and Europe) will be on the air to celebrate 2 years of legal AM and SSB.
It's hard to believe that 2 years have passed by already. SSB has proved to be very popular in many parts of the UK especially on the many 'Midweek DX' nets but I must say that AM is still very rarely used so here's your chance to get on the air and make some contacts!
AM calling will take place on Ch14 - 27.125MHZ
SSB(USB) calling will take place on Ch27 - 27.275MHZ
Please remember to QSY from the calling channels when contact has been made.

Icom IC-7300 - CB Band Optional?
Browsing through the RadCom magazine and I noticed this on the Waters And Stanton advert:
Yes! - According to Waters And Stanton they offer the option of 60m or 11m on the new Icom IC-7300. Are they really promoting the use of Amateur Radio equipment on 11 meters????
Of course we all know that many radios can be modified to cover additional frequencies and many operators do indeed use Amateur Radio sets on 11m but if this is not a misprint/error this would be the first time I have seen an advert openly offering to modify a radio for use on non-amateur frequencies......

Sugar Delta Group Adopt UK SSB Calling Channel!
With thanks to Roy (104ET001) for the information that the Sugar Delta Group has adopted the same SSB calling frequency as the UK:
Posted on the Sugar Delta Website:
"Hi All
After much debate with many of the HQ in the Group after what is still an on going problem in many divisions with the Radio Authorities regarding out of Legal band transitions we have decided that we should move the calling frequency to within Legal bands.
The new calling frequency for the Group will be: 27.275Mhz
This will protect our Members from prosecution in the divisions concerned and allow our family to operate and continue to enjoy the hobby.
The fight for the Frequencies we love so dear will continue with cooperation from ourselves with all other entities that are fighting to legalese what has become known as the free band and 555 frequency.
We can only do this as a Group if we are following our country authorities rules and regulations.
The Sugar Delta Group has always stated that we use our radios & equipment within the Legal Bands and to the countries laws and regulations and will not be responsible for our Members transmitting out of Bands that are deemed Illegal.
As from this day any future 0 /DX/IOTA or SD Group sponsored activity will ONLY be on Legal Frequencies, Calling from 27.275 and QSY.
With the Cycle being at its lowest and having no conditions for the DX i think that this is the right time to make a big change, at the end of the day if we advertise the frequencies we transmit on people we come if they want to work us.
One thing is for sure if we do nothing we will lose our most wanted and lose many members from the 11mtr community of which will be even worse for our hobby.
Look forward to see your feedback on this subject
Regards all"

NEW - Wouxun KG-D901 DMR Handset!
Seen on Martin Lynch & Sons Facebook page:
"Gary has been playing with the prototype of the Wouxun KG-D901 DMR handheld. Honestly, it really does exist!"
There has been talk about this new DMR handheld from Wouxun for months and here it is the first photo of the radio 'in the wild'.
(Click Image To Enlarge)
I'm sure it will be a cracking little radio but as it's a SINGLE BAND radio (VHF OR UHF) I think that Wouxun have missed a trick. Most people, including myself, are waiting for a DUAL BAND DMR handheld.
VHF Version: 136 - 174MHz
UHF Version: 400 - 470MHz
Price: TBA (Has been seen on some sites listed for 299 Euros - This is way too much and will need to drop)
