Chris, What you're describing has always been proper operating etiquette.
However, they're referring to actually moving the calling freq up from 125. The problem is that 125 is the top edge of DX window. You get a strong local using SSB in 125 and it's too close to very weak DX. 73, Josh W6XU Sent from my mobile device > On Jun 6, 2017, at 9:24 AM, Chris Tate - N6WM <ct...@ewnetinc.com> wrote: > > I think what Wayne was actually saying (correct me if im wrong) is that > people tend to forget and camp on 125, yesterday there were 3/4 stations > having qso's simultaneously.
