A friend and I want to try to some SSB. Could someone wise and

confused due to the current sunspot mess.


Probably 40 meters during the day, 75 (80) meters at night.


That's probably the best. 20 meters is going to be pretty good during
the day, too, and 15 meters was open pretty much over the Americas
yesterday. I was hearing stations on 15m as far away as Uruguay and
Chile, and worked stations in Wisconsin, Georgia, Virginia, and New
York.
