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.

Generally get a response; sometimes on SSB, but most are willing to flip the switch or push the AM button, to make the contact. When the band opens up between two locations, and you and several other AM stations in your area, who you might not hear, are all on the same frequency calling CQ, the station at the other end probably is hearing all of the them as one big heterdyne.

Re: [AMRadio] The Higher Bands are already Hot this Morning
Great opening on six meters last night - better check again this morning. I periodically called CQs on 50.4 AM without response.

Re: [AMRadio] The Higher Bands are already Hot this Morning
Had a significant double hop opening into the midwest and PNW last night on 6M; Only one station worked on 6 AM, and my CQ's didn't net anybody. 73 Mark K3MSB On Sat, Jun 19, 2010 at 10:33 AM, Mike Duke, K5XU wrote: > 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. > > > Mike Duke, K5XU > American Council of Blind Radio Amateurs > > > __ > Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net > AMRadio mailing list > Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ > List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html > List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio > Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net > To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with > the word unsubscribe in the message body. > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
