433 Alive - 70cms activity event on Easter Saturday afternoon (30.03.2024)
It has been suggested that this coming Easter Saturday afternoon (30.03.2024) would be a good time to get some more 70cms FM simplex activity on the air.
From the "433 Alive" Facebook group:
"Here's my idea for a 433 Alive 1st activity.
Saturday March 30th starting at about 12:00UTC to 15:00UTC.
I'm not proposing to set any net frequencies, nor ask for callsigns for net controllers.
What I'm suggesting is that people use 433MHz FM, either by calling CQ on 433.500MHz and then moving to another frequency, or else nominating a frequency on here [the FB group - Ed], as long as that frequency is clear when they start up.
I'm assuming that we are all Radio Amateurs and that we can cope if a frequency that we want to use is already in use and can move to another frequency if needed.
If you want to be included in my details of who worked who, I ask that you send me details of where you were (IARU locator square please), your callsign that you used and then details of who you worked. As a minimum, their callsign, IARU locator, or else a location name.
The times are flexible, if you want to set up early and finish later, or set up later and finish earlier, that's not a problem, please just send me details of who you worked.

Good luck to everybody taking part. Whilst this is a newer and very different event to 145 Alive, it is well worth taking part if you can. It is possible to get more gain with physically smaller antennas relative to 145MHz.
I would suggest QSYing to somewhere between 433.400 and 433.775MHz. Below that, you have repeater outputs; above that, you have other users (e.g. APRS, digital simplex gateways, hotspots etc).
Don't forget that, if you are out portable, your activation may also quality for Parks On The Air, Summits On The Air and the like.
