If you need all the frequencies, let me know Title: Re: 60 Meters is open Post by: W2JBL on October 24, 2005, 12:25:53 AM i have had some nice QSO's on 60 meteres. unfortunately the only guy i have heard there who i know is Glen WA3GPE. well, i used to know him anyway. i think it's a great band, but too damn quiet. a bunch of us AM'ers orta go up there and take it over, even if we have to go on sideband. it might be a good place to flush certain sideband nets that crowd the AM window to as well.

Chris - I can go there, even on silly sidewash. Let's do a sked there sometime. The path between you and I would be superb 24 hours a day.

Did he fall down and crack his head? I've heard him on sideband crowding existing AM contacts about a half dozen times over the years. He used to be an AM himself. Makes little sense.
