I'm curious, does anyone here still use channel 16 SSB?
As an old timer (mid-60's), I remember well when channel 16 was the main SSB channel here in the USA. When the 40 channel CB's came along, much of the SSB activity moved up to channels 35 - 40 in most areas.
I also remember the Spartan SSB group on RC channel "15A" (27.145 MHz) years ago. That was a lot of fun. Anyone remember them?
I'd like to spearhead a movement to increase SSB use of channel 16, in addition to spark (no pun intended) interest in using the RC channels again. Also, I'd like to see more SSB activity on the "in between" frequencies, such as 27.380, 27.390, 27.400 MHz, etc., too, like it was back in the '80's.
Listen for me, AB1, (Alpha Baker 1) on 16, RC channels, and other oddball in-band frequencies when the skip starts rolling.
