About: 6-meter band

An Entity of Type: anatomical structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The 6-meter band is the lowest portion of the very high frequency (VHF) radio spectrum internationally allocated to amateur radio use. The term refers to the average signal wavelength of 6 meters. Although located in the lower portion of the VHF band, it nonetheless occasionally displays propagation mechanisms characteristic of the high frequency (HF) bands. This normally occurs close to sunspot maximum, when solar activity increases ionization levels in the upper atmosphere. During the sunspot peak of 2005, worldwide 6 meter propagation occurred making 6 meter communications as good as or in some instances and locations, better than HF frequencies. The prevalence of HF characteristics on this VHF band has inspired amateur operators to dub it the "magic band".

  • Das 6-Meter-Band ist der Frequenzbereich von 50 MHz bis 52 MHz (Europa) beziehungsweise von 50 MHz bis 54 MHz (USA), den verschiedene Funkdienste nutzen, neben dem (auslaufenden) Rundfunk meist militärische Funkdienste. Der Amateurfunkdienst hat in Europa einen sekundären Status bzw. wird geduldet. In den USA werden Funkfernsteuerungen ebenfalls auch im 6-Meter-Band betrieben; hierfür sind 10 Kanäle zugewiesen. (de)
  • The 6-meter band is the lowest portion of the very high frequency (VHF) radio spectrum internationally allocated to amateur radio use. The term refers to the average signal wavelength of 6 meters. Although located in the lower portion of the VHF band, it nonetheless occasionally displays propagation mechanisms characteristic of the high frequency (HF) bands. This normally occurs close to sunspot maximum, when solar activity increases ionization levels in the upper atmosphere. During the sunspot peak of 2005, worldwide 6 meter propagation occurred making 6 meter communications as good as or in some instances and locations, better than HF frequencies. The prevalence of HF characteristics on this VHF band has inspired amateur operators to dub it the "magic band". In the northern hemisphere, activity peaks from May through early August, when regular sporadic E propagation enables long-distance contacts spanning up to 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi) for single-hop propagation. Multiple-hop sporadic E propagation allows intercontinental communications at distances of up to 10,000 kilometres (6,200 mi). In the southern hemisphere, sporadic E propagation is most common from November through early February. The 6-meter band shares many characteristics with the neighboring 8-meter band, but it is somewhat higher in frequency. (en)
  • La banda de 6 m es una porción de la banda del espectro electromagnético que ocupa el rango de frecuencias de entre 50 y 54 megahercios. La banda es utilizada para la comunicación entre radioaficionados, pero el uso de la banda varía según las reglas de cada país. (es)
  • La bande 50 MHz désignée aussi par sa longueur d'onde, 6 mètres, est une bande pour radioamateurs. Cette bande est utilisable en permanence pour le trafic radio local et régional, et sporadiquement pour le trafic radio à grande distance. (fr)
  • La banda dei 6 metri è una porzione dello spettro radio VHF, assegnata ad uso radioamatoriale. Sebbene sia situata nella gamma bassa della banda VHF, occasionalmente però mostra i meccanismi di propagazione caratteristici delle gamme HF. Ciò avviene normalmente al massimo numero di macchie solari, quando l'attività del sole aumenta i livelli di ionizzazione della parte alta dell'atmosfera. La prevalenza di caratteristiche delle HF ha fatto sì che gli O.M. la chiamassero “banda magica”.Nell'emisfero settentrionale l'attività ha un picco da maggio all'inizio di agosto, quando la propagazione E sporadica consente collegamenti a lunga distanza, raggiungendo fino a 2.500 km con propagazione a singola riflessione. Invece la propagazione a riflessione multipla permette comunicazioni intercontinentali, con distanze fino a 10.000 km. Nell'emisfero meridionale la propagazione E sporadica è frequente da novembre all'inizio di febbraio. (it)
