For 52 consecutive days, I sat in front of the radio for the Five Two Simplex Challenge. This wasn’t a highlight reel of constant DX—it was a real-world documentation of what actually happens when you commit to 146.52 MHz every single day, no matter what.
These videos are my irrefutable evidence. Some days were successful with solid contacts, and other days were absolute silence. By recording every day of this 52-day journey, I’ve captured the raw truth of 2m simplex in my area.

ALL amateur radio operators world-wide need to know the DX CODE OF CONDUCT. It was meant for DX contacts, but it really applies to ALL aspects of amateur radio (DXing, contesting, POTA, SOTA, Field Day, special events, etc...). DON'T BE AN ALPHA HOTEL!
