Channel 1 would be my pick. For some reason it’s often the quietest or least used channel during heavy skip conditions in my area and it’s far enough away from the splatter boxes on 6.
Aside from shooting fm into a dummy load, never have I ever even tried over the air. Could be something cool and might even see what's out there next time the station is running.
I can't wait to hear about all the complaining when dudes switch to FM and start smoking amplifiers...
That being said, I welcome it...
But you know what ever the manufacturers paid the FCC to legalize it is pocket change compared to what the will make by not having to manufacturer radios for the US only market

Yeah channel 1 might not be a bad place for it. Never used around my area either.
Makes sense to me, most people seem to avoid the band edges anyways.

"The FM calling channel should be anything but my home channel." Says everyone with a home channel.......
I've heard Cobra is pushing for it. They probably already have a radio waiting in the wings, ready to go into production upon approval.
When the band opens and we are all on here discussing it, we could designate a channel and PL tone for WWDX contacts.
I can drive over to their HQ and ask, it's only about 15 miles from me but they really know nothing about their CB crap.
I don't think PL tones would be a problem, years ago Johnson had cb radios with PL tone, it was called select call..... Or something like that.

Why wouldn't they be? I don't think there's any band where they're not allowed. Even FRS has them.
