Sporadic-E season is here!
Next time you hear 27025 channel 6 active, try the following "skip shooting" channels:

and the following freeband 11 meter frequencies:
26225 LSB - Latin America/Caribbean calling frequency, very popular with stations from Dominican Republic

I often use 26585 AM, 27515 AM/LSB and the 27600-27800 range as band opening indicators to Latin America. Activity on 26915 AM and nearby frequencies indicates an opening to the southern USA.
