under channel 1

[BammBamm]

Does anyone use the frequencies below CB band channel 1? I have scanned from 25.xxx up but never hear anything on my lower frequencies.

26.915 has been a long time AM gathering place.

I used to but I have my mobile antenna system set up for the high side of 11 meters and much of 10. Go low enough and you'll hear a bunch of Hispanic operators.

Below Zero

Here in Australia channel zero was popular with AMers to get away from the big guys with ssb.. Zero was 26.955. But 27Meg is nearly dead down here now. Don't forget New Zealand still has 26mhz CB..

When the band is in good shape 26.420 USB good. Its the Oscar Charlie freq. Made several qso's on it. 26.285 USB used to be a popular international call freq but not much activity anymore. Besides that, mostly all AM traffic from around 26.500 up...

26.715 is used for the toma channel.

It's guys saying toma toma toma toma toma toma on their 10 kilowatt setups

Actually, it's "Charlie Oscar," but close enough.

To the OP: there have been a couple of threads here not long ago regarding activity below Channel 1 that may provide additional information.

Years ago there was a club located here called the VLF club.. Anyone heard of them? I think they talked on 26.505 or some freq.

Back in the 70s/80s we had the "Cricket" and the "Paw Paw Patch" we would go to on the "Funny channels" when we had trouble on the regular standby......our standby was ch 1...when we went to the hide out channels we would use those back of the set antennas and low watts...trying to make it harder to find us.
