FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

[lonestarbandit]

I hear 399 having some QSO on LSB40 but can't get back to him. *edit* we did make contact. Good to talk to you JJ hope we do it again. I have some mental midgets intentionally causing interference in my area atm.

I heard both 429 and 399 chatting on 40LSB up here on the west coast of Canada this morning. 429 barely above the noise but 399 up to s 4 at times!
Unfortunately 40 is a useless channel for me up here due to the enormous number of Mexican AM'ers that use it. Most of the time it's just a howling mess of hetrodynes. I rarely go below 27.415, but of the regular channels 36 is usually the quietest up here. 0 freqs. (ie 390, 400) are often fairly quiet too.
Hope to hear both of you again sometime....hopefully on a quieter frequency so we can chat !! I go by Unit 23 West Coast of Canada, and on and around 555 as 9TM023 West Coast of Canada.

Hey BC. No, you wouldnt have gotten much off of me as I had the side of my beam facing you. Appalling conditions coupled with intentional noisemakers were killing me on the omni so had to risk the "Bad match beam" (maybe I should call it that even after I fix it lol) in order to hear JJ well enough to hold a conversation. Also heard WDX1863 Central Pennsylvania on 40 LSB but I have some localized stupidity going on tearing up my recieve.

Hey BC. No, you wouldnt have gotten much off of me as I had the back side of my beam facing you.

Same drill, different day.
If conditions allow, I'll be in the neighborhood of LSB 37, 39, 40 and the usual uppers. I hope to be on early this evening for a while, and checking on and off Saturday and then again Sunday morning.
It would be great to hear some of you guys out there!

Had a few contacts but mostly on 28AM.
Found the idiot 1111 guy was up on 42LSB jamming people earlier. It is remarkable how the FCC doesn't locate him.

Sorry to hear this my friend! Yes, this is very unfortunate. I'll listen up for you Saturday evening.

I'm not sure the FCC is worried about these guys. Which I believe is good for us all. When I hear them I change to another channel. I don't get upset and I don't waste a second listening to them. There are too many available frequencies to be worried about these fellas.

As for 11 meters... here in west Texas, conditions are currently in and out. Hasn't settled one way or the other. But I've got the radio on.

I'm listening on 40LSB and soldering replacing caps etc on TRC 457 LOL
