This is fairly common but it usually results in people just caliing continuously over the whole range and nobody can get through. What's the range they've been instructing people on which to listen? Most DX ops I've talked with go around 5 up from the listening frequency. Jackie The one night I was monitoring, it varied. On 40 meters the listening freq stayed at 7090. When they were working in the low end of 40 (no US SSB) they were usually 5-10 up for call. They also gave a 5-10 kc range for a while when they moved the call frequency to the US part of the band (around 7240). That was a mess so for a short time they also went by the zone #'s. Toward morning they switched to single frequencies for calling eventually going to 7226 and that is when I contacted them. The best way to keep track of all this frequency hopping is to go to one of the DX IRC sites where hams post the freqs they are monitoring or have made contacts on. Do a search for "DX Summit" and that will take you there. http://www.dxwatch.com/dxsd.php?f=36 dxAce Michigan USA |
