[digitalradio] Re: 40m Band what is going on???
You're going to have problems with 30M down because all transmissions are in USB. Best place for signals on 20M are around 14076-14078. On 30M 10139=10141 and 40M 7036-7039.

Now we have even a ham I guess playing music at s9 on 7.092. Has something happened since I been away. The bans sounds like a CB free for all. Dissapointed!!

Last night I heard no signals at all on 40. I thought it was because of a solar flux of 68 and k index of 2. Today I'm not so sure what's going on. The band changes are supposed to begin March 29th. Maybe people are waiting for that.

Re: [digitalradio] Re: 40m Band what is going on???
Kim, For a dial scale for LSB, run DigiPan (www.digipan.net). In ConfigureBand, set the Spectrum Start frequency 3 KHz higher than the known watering holes, put a dot in LSB, and DigiPan will display the correct RF frequencies above the waterfall. For PSK31 on 20 meters, use a Spectrum Start frequency of 14.073 to receive stations from 14070 to 14072.5 on LSB. For 40 meters, use either 7038 or 7073, LSB, for the PSK31 activity. 73, Skip KH6TY http://kh6ty.home.comcast.net - Original Message - From: Kim To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 3:21 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Re: 40m Band what is going on???

Re: [digitalradio] Re: 40m Band what is going on???
Ah ha well that would point to something I guess. Yeah I'm aware that 20 m digi is best but there are remember very good times to be had on the forgotten band 30m, I was talking from a voice perspective but it seems sad that the band seems mostly unusable. Ahh well roll on the SF and the New Solar cycle. MM0TOB.
