Which type of voice mode is often used for long-distance (weak signal) contacts on the VHF and UHF bands?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: C. SSB
SSB is the voice mode used for long-distance, weak-signal work on VHF and UHF. Its narrow bandwidth puts all the power into a small slice of spectrum, so weak signals are easier to hear. FM is popular locally but needs a stronger signal to sound clear.
Tip: Weak and far? Use SSB.
