Something I’m working on and will eventually move to VE3FOO.ca is a band plan database. Sure there are tonnes of these out there, but, I find studying them and transposing them here helps me learn\retain the data – plus, I can add in my own notes. For example, I’m considering building a few dipoles, what lengths do I need, etc for each band.
