145 Alive

145 Alive - Next Event is on Saturday 7th February 2026

What is 145Alive?

145 Alive is a Simplex 2m (145Mhz) event. The idea is to promote the usage of the band in order to keep it "Alive"

There are normally 4 or 5 scheduled events throughout the year.

This time around there will be both FM and SSB operations in place due to popular demand and to check what that level of demand actually is.

Back in October 2025, we had some excellent Tropospherical conditions and i managed to make a 2m contact into spain from the south coast of England. Conditions wont be as good this time around but that will not stop us from having a good time.

I (2E0TPH) will be operating SSB from either Portland Heights or from Hardys Monument using a TR-9000 and a small amplifier into a vertical "White Stick" antenna sat on top of a 10m (33ft) mast. At the last event we (myself and John, M3YTQ) managed to log around 63 stations on FM in the alloted 3 hour event. We done extrememly well with most of the country south of Manchester being able to work us!

Reece (M7DVX) will also be operating FM from a location near Corfe Mullen (Dorset)

More information can be found on the 145Alive Facebook Group or their website.
