Re: [AMRadio] The Higher Bands are already Hot this Morning
This is why tuning around the call frequency is important. Call on 50.400 and say listening 10 to 50 up. Or just make a cq up 10. -Original Message- From: manual...@juno.com To: amradio@mailman.qth.net Sent: Sat, Jun 19, 2010 2:37 pm Subject: Re: [AMRadio] The Higher Bands are already Hot this Morning The problem , at least at my location here in NJ, when the band really opens up good across a big portion of the country, and a bunch of people are all calling CQ on 50.4, all I hear are heterodynes.

[AMRadio] The Higher Bands are already Hot this Morning
Both 10 and 6 meters are full of signals here in Mississippi this morning. On 10, the K0KP 500 MW beacon on 28.212.8 is 599, and a 3 watt beacon from Illinois on 28.214 is even stronger. The 6 meter beacon band is full of signals from the mid west and east coast. So, crank up something, and get on the air. I plan to be on 15 meter AM on 21.425, or 10 meter AM on 29.000 or above if the band gets busy.
