38 lsb is about the only thing that opens up for me. Southern California and the Baja being the most heard on my dipole.

Made good contact with the West Coast this morning from central Texas. Mother nature has not been in my favor the last couple of days but today she's being sweet to me. I did have a good contact with a two operators out of Maine last evening though.

Just nothing for me today, but yesterday I was hearing the West coast fairly good, then nothing for 2 or 3 days before that.

Is there a reason why 38 lsb seems to be the one channel that is easy to talk on? I have heard a few people on some of the others, but 38 seems to be where everyone talks.

Ah, thanks. I thought maybe it was some physical reason for it. I've used CB since the early 80's when I was driving truck, but never messed much with SSB, although the radio had it. It was more a radar speed trap detector for me. LOL
