Which amateur band includes the frequency 146.52 MHz?

2 meters, the busy 144 to 148 MHz band.

  1. 6 meters
  2. 2 meters ✔
  3. 70 centimeters

Why: The 2-meter band covers 144 to 148 MHz, so 146.52 MHz lands there. 6 meters is around 50 MHz and 70 centimeters is around 440 MHz.

Huh, didn't know that: 300 divided by 146.52 MHz is about 2.05 meters, which is where the band's name comes from.

The dad joke
My friend said 2 meters is a short band. I told him it is still taller than me.
