  1. Kevin Miller's post in confused about where exactly I can operate on 40m as a general was marked as the answer   
    ok so I passed my general a few weeks ago and im still kind of lost on the frequency thing. like I know technicians have limited HF but generals get more, but when I look at the band charts online they all look slightly different from each other and I dont know which one to actually trust
    specifically on 40 meters I keep seeing different numbers for where phone starts. someone at the club told me 7.175 but then I saw another chart that said 7.225 and the arrl one seems different again? and then theres something about the band edge being dangerous to operate near but I dont really get why
    also is there like one official document I should just be looking at or what
  2. Kevin Miller's post in Solar flux back up to 158 - enjoying the good conditions while they last? was marked as the answer   
    New General here - can someone explain why SFI above 90 and K index 3 or lower means good conditions? I see these numbers but still learning what they mean for actual band openings. Thanks!
