FASMA 2025 Update

by
Hi All, My name is Grant, W4KEK. I’m here to provide a update over the last two years. Due to many personal factors, Bryan and I were left as the only two working on FASMA right now. I’m working though the back log of requests, you will hear something from me within the next month.   FAQ: I have a request in, do I have to put it in again? No, I’m working though the backlog of requests and updates, and will provide a update when I get to your request. How many people are helping with this? Right now, It’s just me. I’m working on methods to automate data input to get to everyone faster.   Anything else? Just ask.

FASMA Two-Meter Survey

by

FASMA is soliciting input from amateurs in Florida regarding the current use of the Two-Meter Band. As part of this, FASMA undertook extensive research into the history of amateur Two-Meter operations.

A video summary of this research was also produced. Many early decisions and equipment limitations shaped our present use of the use of the Two-Meter band. FASMA seeks to understand how amateurs are using Two-Meters in their current operations.

We want input from all users; voice, weak-signal, repeaters, packet, satellite and experimental.

FASMA has created a brief survey open to all Two-Meter users in Florida.
Please register and take it at this link.

The survey will run through the 2022/2023 and will help us understand if the current band plan fits actual use. The survey is 25 questions and should take no more than 15 minutes. We’ll publish our findings in 2023.

In the spirit of discussion FASMA has a public email list that any interested party may join.
