Almost ALL countries outside of the Americas ONLY have 7.000 to 7.100 for 40 meters. Geoff. Considering the WPX is on, the USA hams are operating splits like 7024/7220, why not put that nice rig to work earning a few qso's instead of complaining about the rest of the world? (and learn a bit more about it too) Nana Because I like operating CW, not SSB. I got into HF for CW, not SSB. George There are no contests on the WARC bands, 30M, 17M, and 12M And 30M is all CW or Data -- no phone. A DXer reported working the FT5XO Dxpedition on 30M with just three calls last night. If you are going to work CW -- get some good antennas in the CW bands. If noise is a problem on 80 or 160M, make a low noise receiving loop. -- CL -- I doubt, therefore I might be ! |

Like I said, learn more about the other regions, the rest of the world does not use the same bandplan as the USA (thank God for that!) VK have phone privileges on 30m. Excellent band for 600km range communications mobile, by day, which is about the distance from Sydney to Brisbane and Sydney to Melbourne. SSB from 10115 - 10140. Main calling on 10120, secondary 10125. Brad in VK |
