Also 27.695 LSB is the "Latin" gathering hotspot. Lots of Spanish speaking stations calling on this one. Here in Los Angeles there are lots of powerful base stations transmitting on this one.

I had kind of forgotten about 27.695 MHz LSB!  It is one of many, I seem to remember 27.665 MHz USB and LSB, among many others in that area, being quite popular.  See also: 6900 kHz LSB / 6.900 MHz LSB.  I've actually heard guys on 6900 LSB talking about conditions on 11 metros (11 meters), so I know there is some overlap there for sure.

I heard a lot of freebander activity on
26.225 MHz USB,
26.235 MHz USB,
26.240 MHz USB,
26.275 MHz AM,
26.305 MHz AM,
26.375 MHz AM,
26.555 MHz LSB,
26.565 MHz AM,
26.575 MHz AM,
26.585 MHz AM,
26.595 MHz AM,
26.705 MHz AM,
26.715 MHz AM and several others (all Spanish speaking stations)
