Paul,

There was some guys on 3.816 LSB when I started listening about 1/2 before our net time. The typical kind of thing where someone would say something, then a couple of minutes of silence, then someone else, then a bunch of ID's at the 10-minute mark.

Rinse, repeat. This kind of thing can go on for hours amongst a bunch of old friends.

So, watching my waterfall, I noticed that 3.812 looked clear, so I started calling about 10 minutes before the hour, about once a minute. Never heard anyone, so about 10 after, I called it quits.

I did tune up around 3.815 several times during that time, but all I heard was the guys on 3.816. One of them, at least was splattering almost down to 3.812.

I still have a very high noise floor from 3.8 up to 6.2 MHz, from said neighbor's ATT U-Verse uplink, anywhere from S9 to S9+20 dB.

73,

Thank you Gwen
I listened for 15 minutes before the net .. if there is no one .. as normal
i call it open
I found one of the crew, I am looking to change to the 3.7 range as I am
getting weary of this fight.
After being clear .. I get screamed at for taking "someone's" frequency..
Wait, and they are running USS on 80
Gaaa   Yes, it is 80 meters

I tried to get in, but you couldn't hear me. There was also some irate
gentleman out there complaining that he was already using the frequency
that was very weak. So I think things were a little congested.
