That's it especially for DX. If 38 lsb is quiet, it's a good time for
talking ground wave 70 mile stuff, which is fun too. You're right with
the 38, forget the freeband except for once in a while.

I'm patiently waiting for the Uncle to conform to WRC-03, especially
the part about dropping the code. I'll be a general at the next test
session, calling CQ on 10 meters later that day.

It's nice to have other bands to work when one is dead or too noisy.
You can't have too many radios going at the same time! I'll be on
2 meters with my 440 and CB going, along with my scanner. I also
like to tune in my local cab company. They bitch and yell and cuss
about calls! Since they're right up the street, I'll tune the base
on my scanner and the mobiles on my very sensitive 2 meter ICOM.

It's a blast during rush hour. It's a split system and they always
talk at the same time, so dispatch doesn't hear the cab talking
and then there's silence until one repeats their message. The dumb
cabbies think it's like a full duplex cell phone!!!

You got it Scott, it's usually more fun to listen than it is to talk
anyway. I wouldn't get too worked up about working 10M, it opens and closes
just like 11M. (ewe knew dat)

I like the down-cycle on 11.
