Deep Dive: G2E15
The correct answer is C: Approximately 14.074 MHz to 14.077 MHz. A common location for FT8 is approximately 14.074 MHz to 14.077 MHz (on 20 meters). This is the standard FT8 frequency range on 20 meters. For amateur radio operators, this is where most FT8 activity occurs. Understanding this helps when operating FT8 on 20 meters.
Why Other Answers Are Wrong
Option A: Incorrect. FT8 isn't in the voice portion of the band - it's in the digital segment, separate from voice. Voice is higher in the band. Option B: Incorrect. FT8 isn't in the CW portion of the band - it's in the digital segment. CW is lower in the band. Option D: Incorrect. 14.110-14.113 MHz is in a different part of the digital segment - FT8 is typically 14.074-14.077 MHz, not 14.110-14.113 MHz.
Exam Tip
FT8 on 20m = approximately 14.074-14.077 MHz. Think 'F'T8 = 'F'requency 'T'ypically '8'074-14.077 MHz. Common location for FT8 on 20 meters. Not in voice segment, not in CW segment - dedicated FT8 segment.
Memory Aid
FT8 on 20m = approximately 14.074-14.077 MHz. Think 'F'T8 = 'F'requency 'T'ypically '8'074-14.077 MHz. Common location for FT8 on 20 meters. Standard FT8 frequency range.
Real-World Example
You want to operate FT8 on 20 meters. You tune to 14.074 MHz, which is in the standard FT8 frequency range (14.074-14.077 MHz). This is where most FT8 activity occurs on 20 meters. The segment is organized to keep FT8 operations together.
