I studied for my Novice in the late spring/early summer 1973, and the 40M frequency was 7100 to 7150.
I recall, if my memory isn't going completely, that some of the OTs back then said I was lucky because there were rules that just changed allowing Novices to use VFO's; that may have been when the 40M band was shifted. I checked my old novice log (starting in Sept 1973), and I show all 40M stuff from 7100 to 7150. 73 Mark K3MSB (ex WN3VJL) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Schichler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Discussion of AM Radio" <amradio@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Wednesday, February 23, 2005 11:56 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Old Novice Days > Joe - I just dug out my musty old 1973 ARRL Handbook, and on page 14 it > shows the Novice band on 7100 to 7150.
