For FM. Though, most of the DX activity is SSB/CW. Those are lower on the band.

I have worked some FM, but, the vast majority of DX is elsewhere.

Has anyone ever heard any DX on 220 or above??

The highest band i have ever heard skip on is 2,the highest frequency i EVER HEARD SLIP ON was channel 40 on TV (I was in Devon PA and channel 40 from Trenton came in every night just about)

 

[CW]

6 has been awesome here in Ohio. I even heard some fellow from Sarasota FL call on the local 6 meter repeater (53.630 output), which blew me away. But even in the car with 10 watts I've worked Alabama and Tennessee on 52.525 FM.

As soon as the tree jockeys stop by the house and trim back a freaking Maple tree that went wild, I hope to be on SSB.

10 meters has been dead, ditto 17 and 20 when I checked.

Be looking for ya on 50.125 SSB....and 52.525 FM.....FT857D in the mobile....SSB is open more often than the FM portion is....be sure to check the auto beacon band of 50.06 to 50.08...you never know what you will hear there but if its CW, the beacons are on!!

Keep a watch on http://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo.html for openings to Ohio. I use this page a lot just to get a tip if the band is open, as well as keeping an old B&W set on Channel 2 in the shop. If Chicago, Detroit, or Pittsburgh are coming in, usually the band is hot.

Hi everyone:

Listen to CB radio over your computer

AND EVEN TALK ALSO!!!!! (With a microphone)

Interesting... I wonder if it would be legal if I ran the audio through my 11 meter rig so that local CBers in my area could join in? I vaguely recall reading somewhere that CB Radio contacts over distances greater than XXX number of miles are illegal, even if one is running legal power and a weird skip condition occurs. Having most of the "CB signal propagation path" over the internet isn't exactly the same thing as anomalous skip conditions, but still...

This would be considered remote control and such operation is not legal on 27MHz CB in the US.....

That's what I figured. The odds of getting caught at it are probably very small, but I still wouldn't chance it myself.

But you can LISTEN IN though. You ain't breaking no rule by doing that (The control op may be, but hey, it's no chip off your shoulder!).

Cheers & 73
