A few days ago I was asked by a newcomer to the world of packet radio what
frequencies could they find packet activity on 4 and 6 Metres. I couldn't help
but said I would find out and let them know. Promises ... Promises ... Checking
back issues of Radcom came to very little as did asking other local packet
operators.

It came as a surprise that if one was to venture on to a new band it would be
very difficult to find information as to where to call and work packet. 

Below I have tabulated the information that I have managed to find about
different bands which really does not amount to much.

It strikes me that there is a lot of information about this mode that is
kept a closely guarded secret or that nobody wants to share with others.
Perhaps that is a little harsh because I know that the likes of BARTG do good
work to spread the gospel and although I have not seen it the new publication
by BARTG, 'Beginners Guide to Packet Radio', may go a long way to help
newcomers.

May I ask that, if you can fill in the gaps or correct wrong information that
you let me know so that sometime in the future I can put out a frequency table
that will be of help to others.
