Which band are you on? (sopuli.xyz)

Where I'm from, 2m band seems to be popular due to the small antenna requirement. The fact we're in densely populated area probably also play a role.

There should be the 70cm band as well, but I haven't seen any sign of life around here.

I usually try to find myself on 20m. I like it's DX-ability at night and appreciate it's reach during the day. Otherwise 10m is nice because there's lots of new hams ready to answer CQ calls, or calling CQ themselves.

The person who answered my very first QSO made it extra special by sending me a first-contact certificate; went way above and beyond and I am incredibly thankful for it.
