I have been working 17 Meter AM wherever there has been a 10 Kc open space after 01:00 GMT the past few evenings. The band is very quiet, yet still open. Response the past few evenings has not only been favorable, but energetic. I get the expected " my first 17 Meter AM contact" response. Satanic slop bucket QRM has been non-existent. I thought I would share to encourage more of the same during that time period.

I have been simply calling CQ on the upper edge of the band, as it appears there is more activity near the middle and lower end of the designated phone portion. So I have been above 18.155, yet always below 18.163. I have been getting responses within 5 to 10 minutes from my initial CQ. It's been fun, and I am always up for a Sked!
