Rules,.... http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Field-Day/2012/2012-FD-Rules.pdf VHF Operation,... http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Field-Day/2012/2012-FD-VHF-Tips.pdf Frequencies we will be on.. 28.400 -10 meters 3.950 - 80 meters 14.265 - 20 meters 7.220 - 40 meters 21.350 - 15 meters FM For Field Day operating, FM is probably the easiest VHF mode to implement. You�ll have little trouble finding FM rigs to use; even a hand-held transceiver can make a fine Field Day rig. FM doesn�t have the range of CW or SSB, but it is the most popular communications mode on the VHF and UHF bands. You�ll find the greatest amount of FM simplex activity on the 2-meter band, although 6 meter FM may be worth a try as well. Remember that Field Day rules prohibit the use of repeaters. This means you�ll have to hunt for contacts on the recognized simplex frequencies.
