I never hear much on this band either.

On nights when I know prop is good, I'll run that band several times between dusk and 0700 UTC - nada. I have yet to make a single catch there. I know most international broadcasters have abandoned it, and only a few little countries still use it a lot (N. Korea for example), but save a weak and scratchy WWV at 2500, not a thing. Anyone have better luck with it, or suggestions? Tony It's been a long time since I can remember there being very much on this band, and it was never as widely used as the other tropical bands. There's little advantage to using it. Propagation is almost exactly the same as the BCB, so why not just broadcast there? Another factor was that table radios with shortwave almost never tuned this band. The bands were usually BCB and SW from 5 or 6 to 18 Mhz. |
