The Official Frequencies of the Radio Dork Club: Dorkness Takes Precedent!
Alright, fellow radio dorks and aspiring airwave aficionados, gather ’round! The time has come to officially lay down the law of the land (or, you know, the airwaves) for the Radio Dork Club frequencies. We know what you’re thinking: “But what about established protocols? What about the VHF calling frequency?” To that, we say: “Pfft! Dorkness takes precedence!“
First up, our glorious shortwave hangout: 3.852 MHz. We’re officially christening this beauty the “new 52.” Why “new 52”? Because it sounds cool, and who doesn’t love a fresh start? Get ready for some top-tier dork chatter, probably involving obscure antenna theories and debates about the best way to coil coax.
Next, for those of you with a hankering for higher frequencies, behold 144.252 MHz. This, my friends, is the “new NEW 52.” Yes, we doubled down on the 52. It’s a dork thing, you wouldn’t understand. Expect thrilling discussions about propagation, squelch settings, and possibly whether a hotdog is a sandwich.
And finally, for our FM crowd, we’re setting the record straight: 146.52 MHz is our official frequency. Now, we know what the purists are muttering: “But that’s the official VHF calling frequency!” And to them, we offer a polite, yet firm, “So what?” While others are using it for, you know, official calls, we’ll be here, embracing our inner dork and probably talking about what we had for lunch.
So tune in, turn up your squelch, and prepare for peak dork. The airwaves just got a whole lot more interesting (and slightly more ridiculous).
