Mine has to be DRM on 2m
followed by RTTY on 20m
then SSB on 80m

**ei2glb** · Fri 8th Aug 2008, 00:45

6M SSB
6M CW
6M JT6M

HF is just to easy

**K7KBN** · Fri 8th Aug 2008, 14:02

15 cw.

**M0TTB** · Fri 8th Aug 2008, 17:40

2m FM repeaters ...maybe not :lol:

Easy choice, 15m ssb but 17m ssb can be a nice haven as well.

**M0TZO** · Sat 9th Aug 2008, 17:44

10m SSB
17m SSB (during HF contests)

2m FM is always on here when I am at my desk, but not sure if I would class as fav(???)

**2e0sql** · Sun 10th Aug 2008, 22:45

15m SSB if conditions are good else 20m RTTY

**N4AJZ** · Thu 14th Aug 2008, 15:49

Low band DX on 40 & 80m CW and SSB.

Well I probably spend more "active" time on 70cms repeaters than anything else.

Otherwise most of my activity has been on 40 or 80m PSK31 and SSB.

40-10m because of the antenna sizes... And I like AM sometimes better than ssb.

**MM3XXW** · Sat 18th Jul 2009, 18:03

12m SSB
10m SSB
80m SSB

**KB1TGQ** · Mon 1st Feb 2010, 15:07

2m FM since that's all I have at the moment.

**kd0bik** · Mon 1st Feb 2010, 15:31

20m PSK31
20m SSB

I have the best luck with 20m from my QTH. I've worked the most DX on this band and spend the better part of 70-80% of my time operating PSK31.

According to my log:

CW on 20 m

**Orion** · Sun 22nd Aug 2010, 08:31

I tend to go in phases...
When I didn't have a mic, I would use PSK and RTTY....then the mic arrived and it was SSB...then the key arrived and the past few months have been CW.....mostly on 20m as condx aren't too great from my valley but I do try to mix it up a little.

(although it does annoy me when CW operators return at a much faster speed than I send (currently at 18/20wpm)...thought the traffic was meant to be a the slowest persons speed)

**F1ABE** · Wed 25th Aug 2010, 03:59

20m : PSK, MFSK, OLIVIA, CONTESTIA....all digi !
1Om: also all digi

**thenatorator** · Thu 26th Aug 2010, 06:05

I'm always on the 2m band since I mainly just monitor while I'm in my car. I hit up the local repeaters as well as the occasional simplex QSOs. Being in Southern California, there are so many 2m repeaters to choose from. I'm never without someone to chat with, for a few minutes at least.

Ditto!

The only 'advantage' to a job that requires me to spend half the working day driving.

**MitchellB** · Sat 13th Nov 2010, 22:03

2 meters FM, but I been interested in the 6 meter band a lot lately for some reason.

**_2E0OZI** · Fri 26th Nov 2010, 18:50

Interesting choices! I'm trying to decide what would be the best band for a new ham on HF, as I have a deposit on a IC718 (my first radio) and at present relatively limited antenna opportunities. 20m looks like a good choice because of its all-round propagation. But a band thats not as "manic" as 20m might be good to ease me inslowly to the ham scene......
