145 Alive Event this Saturday 7/02/2026 12:00-15:00 local time

General 145 Alive Event
1

I’m intending to be out doing the 145 Alive 2m net again , from my usual spot overlooking Moresby NE of Whitehaven . Still waiting to be allocated a frequency . The last couple of events were well supported with people calling in from The Fylde coast in the Fleetwood and Blackpool area , The Isle of Man N Ireland and central Scotland . I believe this time some areas will be running SSB also ( I haven’t got 2m SSB ) .

If you are about on Saturday between 12:00 and 15:00 GMT it will be good to hear from you .

I’m not using a 12.5KHz channel Lee. I was allocated one last time and I moved ,nobody’s scanning 12.5KHz I called and got no replies . also if somebody is 12.5 k above or below you they will probably be TX wide and they can interfere .

Is there a map ? I had no 25k channels that would have conflicted last time .

So long as I’m not on Rab’s or the NI frequencies I don’t see a problem using 25KHz do you ?

I think they do it because there’s a few nets close to each other in the Midlands & south?

6

nah that frequency they gave you is a local gateway anyhow. just do what you did last time

7

Yeah. If you find a free 25k channel folk soon find you . . anybody scanning will likely have those in memory as well .

8

I see they have given the two NI stations the same frequency as well ? 145.375 unless they are doing it between them ?

I emailed them saying pretty much the same thing Lee. Also if you have SOTA/WOTA activators out on the fells or in S Scotland you have to work round , or rather with them .

It’s fair comment about the channel spacing being 12.5 , but from what I have seen most people use 25 KHz on wide and programme that into their memory . There’s only once I can remember answering a cq call on 2m and being asked to qsy to a 12.5k frequency and it was when I was away somewhere .

Might be OK if 2m simplex was busier .

i notice up here no one uses 12.5 spacing. down in southport everyone does.

Thanks Richard for running the net and contact.
