Hello all,
I have been reading the comments about operating and something jumped out
at me. The concept of a calling frequency is to make initial contact and qsy
to another frequency to continue the qso. What a concept.
Thanks, Paul WA3GFZ
Bill,
Sorry u having trouble finding hams to work. One other thing to keep
in mind (not only you Bill but others) is on any given evening, some %
of ops this time of year are QRT because of wx. For example I'm shut
down right now because thunderstorms moving through tonight. & you
don't have t
for me. I'm running a Johnson Viking 1 and an HQ 170-A from up here
near DC.

Hi Bernie,
Bernie be sure to check these spots:
3678, 3685, 3700, 3705, 3735 kHz
A LOT Of AM ops have obtained crystals on those frequencies -
ones that they got since the band was opened up to phone.

Hi Don: yep, I probably work about 50% ssb at the low end and about half

Brett,
Glad ur plasma qrm stays put. the stuff like that I get seems to
slowly make its way up and down the band. I am having fairly good
luck with one of those MFJ phase canceling boxes; it either eliminates
or attenuates a lot of junk. DX Engineering makes a higher quality
product that does

On the broadcast frequencies, most of the noise comes from 'Hybrid
Digital', or HD implementation. Some of that trash on the ham bands
is overmodulated PSK-31 or other digital mode comms stuff. The rest
is good old hash from crappy appliances and bad electrical
distribution grid.
The digital enc
Why the endless congregating around the so-called "calling
frequencies"? Maybe it's the "watering hole" effect - people tend to
go where they know the action is, even if it is too crowded and
dangerous.
I've noticed a growing trend of 100w-class stations reporting less
success in recent year
Good Question Bernie! Old habits is all I can surmise. At the moment
many guys probably haven't gotten back on the air because of static. I
have been on a couple of times in the past 2-3 weeks but that is all.
We have had an inordinate amount of moisture the past two years and
attendant stat
There is lots of AM activity here on 3870 Mondays San Diego net, Wed
West Coast AMI Net, Saturday Morning Northern Nevada/Ca. Round Table.
Every time I call CQ here 80% of the time I can find someone to chat
with on AM.

First off the Classic Exchange was going on IE vintage gear only.
Secondly maybe no one wants to talk to you? What does testing for Extra

what is this fascination with 3880 to 3885? last evening my s meter did not
fall below +20 tuning through that area and each side. there is no possible
way to have a QSO at times like that unless you are talking to your next
door neighbor! I gave up and went to 3705, called cq for 30 minutes un
