    COMMUNICATIONS SSB TRANSMISSION SSB is the most commonly-used mode on the HF Amateur radio bands. Compared with other voice modes, SSB . As for HF and the 6 m band, 29 MHz and 51-54 MHz bands are commonly used for FM operation. You can also utilize 10 m/ 6 m band repeaters to reach your friends when
