Great set of logs there!
27570 USB now, says he has a 7-el yagi, runs 1 kW. Not sure of the QTH. OK, he said he grew up in the south of France.
-
On frequency, French Guiana is the QTH. Gonna try to work him. My 11M call is 285
-
Disregard. Station is having a lengthy QSO with another station. Nothing wrong with that, but I don't want to wait.

The 27410-27700 region is now filled with SSB signals (and a few AM signals here and there)...too many to log!
I checked 10 meters real quick and there's activity on 29600 FM 29.600 MHz FM at 1950 UTC. Looking at the 29.7 MHz to 30.0 MHz region and the 30-32 MHz region right now...

Yes, I enjoyed hearing about his history in the radio hobby. Was nice vs the usual quick call and back and done.
-
Yeah. No harm in a lengthy QSO. The only thing that bothers me is when stateside stations tie up a DX op when others are clearly waiting. When it's dx I just get a signal/QTH confirmation and then move on.
-

Yep - that and having a super long extended QSO on a calling frequency like 27.385 LSB or 27.555 USB. QSY off the calling channel/DX calling window and have your long QSO on a clear frequency. Nothing wrong with that. I've heard operators chatting for hours on end on 11 meter frequencies - operators that QSY'ed off of 27.555 MHz USB
-
Yeah, I admit I've replied to stations on call freq's , but I always try to QSY when I can. Things seem to be coming to a close on 10/11 meters. It did end with several west coast CA/AZ stations though. It's been a fun day playing radio. Can't remember the bands being this good and having time to play radio.

Now, a hair after 2215 UTC, I'm still hearing a YL taxi cab dispatcher on 25.695 MHz AM, the same user heard in numerous other logs and earlier today.
26.415 MHz AM, 26.585 MHz AM, 26.605 MHz AM and several other frequencies below CB channel 1 are also active. 26.645 MHz AM coming in nicely from Puerto Rico at 2218 UTC. CB channel 5 - 27.015 MHz AM is still very busy too.
At 2217 UTC, the YL taxi dispatcher on 25.695 AM is a solid SIO 444.
At 2219 UTC, noted several FSK data bursts on 27.095 MHz, followed by a YL reading numbers (in AM mode - likely another taxi cab company using 27 MHz - this time, using 27.095 MHz R/C channel.
2222 UTC - several FSK bursts (sound like the data links usually heard on 27.255 MHz) on 27.195 MHz (weak, but the sound is identical). No voice signals mixing in with the data bursts...

This is interesting - and matches with the Big Grandpa Las Vegas station heard on 26805 FM 26.805 MHz FM 26.805 FM heard yesterday...apparently there's a FM group and 26.805 MHz is their "home" channel or FM calling channel.

Interesting. I'll have to check this out when I get time. I've always wanted to mess around with FM
-
Just worked Idaho on 26.805. Never done that before. There is another loud station in AZ, but no luck so far.
-
30 seconds later worked 602 AZ. Very cool. I'm thinking my fan is gonna turn on any moment though.

711 Portland,OR 26.805 FM @ 22:12 . I had no idea people used FM in this area.
