Ben VK7BEN’s 23cm Mobile set up on Rosny Hill
There are a keen number (>50) of amateur radio enthusiasts that operate on the 23cm band (1296MHz).
This high up on the spectrum, radios that transmit on this band are not easy to come by and often people buy a transverter to operate here.
The 23cm group mainly hold QSO sessions on Sunday mornings after the broadcasts, with the occasional construction session. Most people point at our microwave bands passive reflector – otherwise known as the Mt Wellington Organ Pipes.
If you have a low cost RTL-SDR you can listen out for people operating on the 23cm band.
