Anybody want to try Sunday afternoon? Anywhere on 15-17-20 is OK by me. No big contests this weekend so there should be a clear freq no problem.
Please QSL to MaplRadio@gmail.com

Next weeks contest: guess how many Volkswagons can fit in Joy Behars mouth. I pick five.

My antenna doesn't like 15 much, 20 gets pretty busy, how bout 17, or possibly 40?

Ok, 17 seems quiet...a little dx in there though.  Puerto Rico calling cq on 18.163, but the band is dying a slow, painful death, LOL. I'll listen for a call around 7.163.

Eh, not hearing anything.  I'm desmoface on aim, if your on that.  We could try 80, but not likely that we'd have propagation that far out.  3645?

This could be fun. I don't know about 17 meters though; I might not be able to copy all the stations who participate. 80m might work if it's later in the day/evening. But I'm up for trying!

I'm good for whatever freq, depending on where everyone is located, 40 could possibly work.
