(reply to all) at the end of your message, in which to put in my three
cents worth, about contesting in general, on the 30 meter band. I guess I

Hi AllSSB is allowed by all countries on 30m..
SSB stands for Single Side Band and is a form of modulation and not a
Mode as suggested by some.many people use SSB to mean Speech or

In the beginning, it was correct that there was really no DX chasing (at
least for awards) but now that is not so. In fact I have at least one
country worked, where I have only one contact, an that was on 30 meters.
DXCC started accepting those contacts some time ago, so yes it is indeed a

is but off the Internet on the 30 Meter
Don, if you believe that 30 meters needs to be promoted because of lack

ideas here or email me direct if you wish.
