I placed a Lil Wil on my filing cabnit and turned on the RCI to LSB 38, here in SW Razorback. Skip out of Canada, Detroit, New York and Georgia was really coming in. Oh and 157 from Erie, PA was blasting.

It wasn't me , there is a local that uses 321 and he does run AM, probably him. You will only find me on 38 or 39 LSB.

MDY, Is that Sigma 11 a beam? I love LSB 38-39 talking, I just haven't had anything up in many years that could do much good. I just called and my IMAX should be in today or tomorrow--I have checked and seems that all the transformers and such are quiet in my area. I will be looking to make contact soon!

nosaj, do you ever get any blead-over from that Navel Base?
We had a Navel survalince station years ago and if you got close with a preamp on, you could hear stuff from all over the world.

The only thing that has been changed over the years is the coax.

Well for whatever reason, my radio is doing much better on LSB 38 than USB. Seems there are some who are slid off freq and prevented me from clarifying those in freq. LOL Anyhow it's been a long time and I'm enjoying it.
