The time has come to officially lay down the law of the land (or, you know, the airwaves) for the <strong>Radio Dork Club<\/strong> frequencies. We know what you&#8217;re thinking: &#8220;But what about established protocols? What about the VHF calling frequency?&#8221; To that, we say: &#8220;Pfft! <strong>Dorkness takes precedence!<\/strong>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First up, our glorious shortwave hangout: <strong>3.852 MHz<\/strong>. We&#8217;re officially christening this beauty the &#8220;<strong>new 52<\/strong>.&#8221; Why &#8220;new 52&#8221;? Because it sounds cool, and who doesn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, for those of you with a hankering for higher frequencies, behold <strong>144.252 MHz<\/strong>. This, my friends, is the &#8220;<strong>new NEW 52<\/strong>.&#8221; Yes, we doubled down on the 52. It&#8217;s a dork thing, you wouldn&#8217;t understand. Expect thrilling discussions about propagation, squelch settings, and possibly whether a hotdog is a sandwich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, for our FM crowd, we&#8217;re setting the record straight: <strong>146.52 MHz<\/strong> is our official frequency. Now, we know what the purists are muttering: &#8220;But that&#8217;s the official VHF calling frequency!&#8221; And to them, we offer a polite, yet firm, <strong>&#8220;So what?&#8221;<\/strong> While others are using it for, you know, <em>official<\/em> calls, we&#8217;ll be here, embracing our inner dork and probably talking about what we had for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Sources<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/a\/ACg8ocIiFqUyMvfOEgvfjZvJrZx43fJi_t-Fld3e3jS-X6Q9ZvhwQrcL=s64-c\" alt=\"profile picture\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Official Frequencies of the Radio Dork Club: Dorkness Takes Precedent!
