The correct answer is B) 5 meters

No one got this correct answer; including myself. I was wrong to

I'll guess A) 1 Meter, since I've seen some radios advertised with bands around 300 MHZ.

Wow then it’s obviously 5 , but I never heard about this one, must be a long time ago

[humanearth]

Go look it up, you'll be surprised when you find out what 5 meters was

[Likes2drive]

Oh, now I know why, because it was right around the TV broadcasting frequencies and they took it away from the amateur radio since it’s 56 to 64 MHz

[humanearth]

Yeah I think they took it away in 1947

Can you think of another radio band they took from hams?

[Likes2drive]

Maybe part of 12 meters or maybe microwave frequencies

[humanearth]

Try the 8 meter band

[MORPHEUS_12]

I know.

I’m rolling with five meters on this one because I don’t remember that being on the band plan.

[exitseven]

I think it was the 7 meter band.

[humanearth]

Incorrect my friend

[exitseven]

Damn. I remember something about an 80-10 meter band. It was a long time ago.
