50 MHz Band

Amateur Radio Operating Modes

The 50 MHz band, also known as the 6 meters band in amateur radio, is a frequency range allocated for long-distance communication. Hams use transverters, transceivers, and DX maps to make contacts, following a code of practice. This band offers unique propagation conditions, making it a favorite among radio amateurs for exploring worldwide communications. Operating on 50 MHz requires specific equipment and adherence to guidelines set by amateur radio organizations to ensure efficient and respectful communication.
