Happy New Year to all!
Just before Christmas, Sholto and I were busy with ALE400 on 10136.0 , with good results most days between the west coast and Central Canada, as well as into the US mid-west. Haven't been listening on 20M much since the band has been very poor here, I think because of more aurora activity at this latitude. As a suggestion, let's use just a few frequencies for ALE400 , increasing the chances of finding someone there. As an example 3584,7038, 10136, 14094, 18104,21094 would work, and also be consistent with the new Region 2 Band plan Which comes into effect January 1, 2008. For myself, I have been sitting on 10136 mostly, with a few trips to 14094. I have come to appreciate 30M much more than before, And been using the 30m digital spot page ( http:// <http://www.projectsand> www.projectsandparts.com/30m/ which Sholto has been running. I leave my rig on, so please try a connect or a sounding on 10136. I have sent this individually to some since I'm not sure that this message would make it through all the QRM on Digitalradio J Seventythirds John VE5MU
