The 6 Meter Backbone Initiative

TTN is building a statewide 6-meter FM repeater backbone across Tennessee and into north Mississippi.

6 meters is the magic band — wide enough for statewide links, underutilized enough to coordinate cleanly, and propagation characteristics that favor the terrain of East Tennessee.

Why 6 Meters

• Uncrowded — far less interference than 2m/70cm repeater bands
• Excellent terrain penetration for ridge-to-ridge links
• SERA coordination available statewide
• 50MHz allows higher ERP on modest tower heights
