Getting a good signal from my neighbor's cordless phone on 905 mhz. I
wonder if he QSL's?

Anyway, I figure I might as well starting posting about this kind of
crap if the group is going to be overrun by irrelevant HD posts.



How bout this: I hear my neighbor's 48.96 mhz cordless (talk about
ancient) harmonic on 146.580 which is our local simplex radio hangout.
When he changes channels, he shows up on the 146.520 calling
frequency. His house is about 20 feet away and when he is in the room
closest to my antenna (comet GP-6 at 35') he is about S-9. I can hear
him from 100' away on my mobile rig from the driveway. It is really
anoying sometimes. There are still plenty of 900 mhz phones in use out
there as well. The premium cordless listening comes when you live
around an area of apartments, duplexes and such. With a good scanner
antenna up high, you can hear stuff a mile or more away easy. No TV
soap operas needed. Unfortunately, it gets boring very quickly.

QSLing them sounds like a fun idea actually. Bet you could convert
many back to corded phones.
