1.947
I'm listening to some hams on 1.947 at 2342. Is this a normal amateur radio
frequency? Brian |

Actually, now I'm finding a lot of stuff in this area. Never really listened
this low before. "Brian" wrote in message ink.net... I'm listening to some hams on 1.947 at 2342. Is this a normal amateur radio frequency? Brian |

Howdy,
Yes, the 160m amateur radio allocation is from 1.8 to 2 MHz. http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/bands.html Regards, Jim -- email sent to: is discarded without being seen.

I sometimes chat down there as well Brian....It dies out on 160 meters as
the temps get warm and the static crashes go up. Its a good band to DX on if the conditions are right and the temps are really cold  )KB "Brian" wrote in message ink.net... I'm listening to some hams on 1.947 at 2342. Is this a normal amateur radio frequency? Brian |

Yes, it's the 160 meter band, extends from 1800 kHz to 2000 kHz.

COLD winter nights are a lot of fun on 160 Brian, check out some of the
audio quality these guys have. A lot of them sound like they are running surplus commercial broadcast transmitters, while others are running old Heathkit DX-100's...Eddie "J Tabor" wrote in message ...

I know they were gone in the early 80's, as thats when I first started using 160m, and I never had to deal with that awful racket. I sure remember it from the 60's and maybe part of the 70's. Terrible noise...MK |

Tony I think you're recalling the old data utility (Sitor?) that sounded like the roar of airplane engines. The Loran sound had a kind of phase shift quality to it. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
