JT65B is what is commonly used on both 2 meters and 432 MHz, however many stations use CW as well. In the microwave bands, with a large station, SSB is possible. Search for the WSJT program and I'm sure you will find lots of information. The frequency range commonly used is the lower portion

If you are a EME beginner, contact a mega-station; I suggest W5UN. He has something like 800 elements total in multi yagis, and polarizations. For beginners, unless you have been doing lots of weak signal tropo, that is your best bet for 1st EME contact. And for certain, get on the
