11 meter channel 29 usb June 13
« on: June 13, 2020, 2107 UTC »
While talking to a local friend on channel 29 in antioch illinois, we heard ssb on 29 and checked usb. There were a group of French speaking only dx chatter. We only heard the French voices and no other language and sounded like they were also trying to talk dx. One person replied back by saying "no english, Francis ". Only for about 10 minuets and they were gone. Happened late night Friday early Saturday on June 13.
sirio 827 5/8 10-12 meter vertical. Approximately 30 feet high, 40 feet of rg8, and at the highest elevation in town.

Sounds like Sporadic "E" skip from Quebec. Tis the season for it. You may still hear Canadians on CH16 LSB still when Skip rolls from Quebec and Ontario.
Since I did electrical training, for being an electrician, decades ago, I thought that I could always fall-back on that. Besides, what other field can you use trade terms like nipples, hickeys, and making male / female connections, without getting into trouble at work?
