Oddly enough, one of the clearest frequencies lately here in Mississippi has been 14.286. Sometimes there is ssb competition, but more often than not, it's pretty clear.
Last night, for instance, Ve4BX, along with Brian in the Ucon, and Ve6CQ were all pounding in on an absolutely clear frequency. The signals were so clear that they reminded me of the days when Fred, W6QS, ran God only knows how much power, and Les, K6HQI could run his 833s at full tilt. Both of those guys are long gone, but I spent many a happy hour listening to their rock-crushing signals as a kid. I actually did talk with Les once about a year before he died.
