S7 with the Raliegh, NC KiwiSDR. Noble Skywave CA202 looking for stations for a comm check. Calling on 6951 USB, U088 replied on 6951.5 and he moved to match, "this was an issue last year as well getting this sorted out". CA202 has a British accent, U088 has an American accent. After the contact CA202 moved back to 6951.00 USB. Much stronger ALE on frequency at 0313, may be unrelated. Moved to 6980 USB right after, now getting destroyed by a MARS net. US85 on 6951.5 USB at 0317 UTC. US276 answers his call. “I have you Lima Charlie, logging now, out”. CA265 and US85 on 6950 USB at 0321 UTC. Some guys strong out east and some strong direct at 0326, sometimes talking over each other. Must be at least a dozen ops by this point. 0344 pileup on 6981.5 USB. The 695X frequencies seem clear now (back at 0353 UTC). Still coming in direct on 6957 USB at 0500 UTC.
