Most Popular Freeband Frequencies

[Highlander_821]

The last cycle 27.475 was always hopping.Night and day constant.

Yes it was. Then there was that old guy who sounded like Mr Magoo that was on 27.490 who was always splashing the shit out of me on .475

what about other HF bands? 160-10m or even lower than 160m Where do people hang out that are considered to be 'FREEBAND'

The HF "entertainment" pirates mostly operate right below 40 meters. Freqs like 6955, 6925, 6875.....in between those areas. You can search for more pirate activity on the net. Sometimes they may show up on those main freqs for chit chat if they're bored and no programs are on. Saturday evenings most popular time to hear shows.

Way back in the day some guys use to freeband right below 6 meters in 49mhz and accordingly called themselves the "49'ers" Have no idea if there is any activity there now.

You can hear alot of talking above and below 40 and 80 meters that is or is attributed to commercial fishermen chatting with each other.

49 MHz is the frequency that all the old baby monitors used to use... I can see it now. Fisher Price baby monitor running into a 1.5kw amp and a 4 element 6 meter beam

I've noticed no one mentioned Am, Well Here in The Sho-Me-State, And Surrounding States, There some of us that do some Dxing on 26.915 Am. And I do believe in the next 2 weeks, There will be The 915 Fest in Branson Mo. Every year this does attract a lot of Operators-Ham/CB.

I prefer the other way around. Even with just my 100 watts into a six element 6m yagi at 42 feet I could hear all sorts of complaints from several baby monitors when I got on 6m. Those baby monitors were so wide band it wasn't funny. Used to be a cordless phone user nearby that would get whacked whenever I was on 6m too.

"The Cricket" and the "Paw Paw Patch" and I'm not telling.

26.9150 am

 

[ExitThirteen]

27.455 LSB and 27.505 LSB are popular in E/NE central Iowa.

We do have a few that hang out on 26.915 AM as well. And the coyote hunters run 26.815 AM, most of them have those old Midland AM radios with the Cybernet PLL02A chassis in them, easy to modify for the lowers.

I would agree that Jazzsinger is correct: as this has been my experience as well.

Me, too

God you could hold ukcb club reunions in a telephone box nowadays.

That's only IF you could find a telephone box. Do they still use those in the Motherland?

They were called Telephone Booths here in the states but they have totally disappeared years ago with the advent of cell phones
