Europe and the FalklandsÂ*are seemingly the main activity on the 4 metres
(70 MHz) band. America and Japan dont have it so most big ham radio
company manufacturers avoid it for the most part. (The Icom IC-7300 is the
exception but only the European model.)




VARC member Bob Houlston (GVPVB) sent an e-mail to Elecraft requesting 4m
for their K4 their response:Â*Hi Bob,Â*our goal is to cover 4 meters with an
internal transverter module. Well announce details at a later date, but
likely power output is 15-20 W.Â*73,Â*WayneÂ*N6KR.




However, for the time being, SWLs can listen in for free using the online
SDR link here. This is a 4-metre WEBSDR located in Hertfordshire covering
the London area.Â* 70.450 MHz is the FM calling channel,Â*and
70.400,Â*70.425,Â*70.475 are popular Sunday morning working channels.
