What channel do you guys run when DX is Hot

[2CO3026]

I tend to wander "all over the band," too. As you can see in my sig below, I do have some favorite haunts, but I don't monitor them, per se.

I usually avoid the crowded channels, like channel 38 SSB. I can't understand why people would congregate there to scream and holler CQ just to have someone call their numbers. Nine times out of ten it's "OK, you're sounding good here. You have yourself a fine one." ... and that's it. Hello/goodbye. ??

Sometimes I like to call CQ on channel 38 and then announce that I'm listening "down 5," meaning 5 kHz, on 27.380. I've had a lot of very enjoyable, laid-back QSO's there that don't last a mere 5 seconds. But, different strokes...

When the DX is hot I give a holler on AM 28.085 for CWMorse, because you know he is there listening.

On AM, I usually work Channel 15. Also freeband AM on 26.915 - 26.955. There is a lot of traffic there, but also a lot more courtesy. On SSB always on 38 LSB.

Channels? I don't need no stinking channels, well except on 60 meters. lol

I like that. I can be found anywhere from the top band to the magic band.

I am also on 38 LSB when skip is hot , but -------->

I like to tell my DX contact to go to up to 38 USB to have a Q'so about more than just boring signal reports.

I started on 39 / 39 LSB & 19 AM in the 70's in Los Angeles county in the 70's in so California , also 38 LSB in the 80's in San Diego, and now in southern Oregon I am back at it the same way.
