146.415 is a frequency on the two meter band that is commonly used
for simplex.
In the Buffalo, NY area, it is a frequency that is
quite active at pretty much all times of the day. It was founded by
Ron AA2VM and Henry VE3UMK and Ed N2VRT.
Due to the constant
petitioning of Henry and Bill KC2NWU, the FCC dropped the Morse
Code requirement in December 2006.
Topics of discussion
include: Politics, music, electronics, dogs, animals, propagation,
antennas, and just general free advice. If anybody is in need of
free advice, stop by 415 since there is no shortage of it. we do
not guarentee that it will be worth anything, however it is
free.
Max, the dog you can hear anywhere, is the official mascot
of the frequency. The master of our tamed beast is Ed N2NJJ who is
able to overpower us all with his whopping 1 watt. It is a mystery
of science, how do we hear Big Ben going off in Ed's house and yet
he does not?
