It's been a while since I sent out a general question like this: What
is/are your favorite band(s) and why? Let's hear lots of good stories here.

I like 30m. It's a nice cross between 40m and 20m. Quite often on 30m,
simply calling CQ will lead to a DX contact. Once, after finishing a domestic QSO, I was called by three Europeans one right after another. The first was a Hungarian, the second an Italian, and the third from the Czech Republic. 73, Dan KB6NU ----- Original Message ----- From: <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 11:17 AM Subject: [Elecraft] Your favorite bands > It's been a while since I sent out a general question like this: What > is/are your favorite band(s) and why?

Let's see:
Iron Maiden - #1 Favorite ;-) Eric Johnson Fates Warning - John Arch stuff Queensryche Dream Theatre Steve Vai SRV Jimi Hendrix Experience Joe Satriani Spastic Inc - Ron Jarzombek Yngwie Malmsteen Frank Zappa Seriously though, for general QSOing, it's hard to beat 40 Meters. There's always someone willing to QSO. 10 Meters is a hoot when it's open, but that's not too often these days. 80 Meters is great for local nets (No room for a DX antenna on 80 here ;-) I use 20 meters a lot these days. Used to get on 15 a lot also, but even when it's open it seems to lack activity. Both 20 and 15 have been good for DX during contests recently. Nao JA6PA used to be regularly heard and QSOd with on 15 around the QRP calling frequency, but I haven't heard him lately. Japan is pretty easy to work on 15 when the band is open from CA. I worked Nao several times on 15 from the YL's condo in Long Beach with a K1 and MP-1 antenna. I'd have to say that 40 and 20 are the bands that get the most attention here these days as they seem to contain the most activity. 20 has been a real DX provider late into the evening lately (not this week with all the solar activity though) to Asia, VK and ZL land. I still check 10 and 15 for openings when I'm here, but rarely hear anything unless there's a contest going. As far as the WARC bands go, I guess I should check them out more, esp 30 Meters, but for some reason I stick to the bands I'm used to...I did try out 30 Meters for a while in the early evenings, but had very little luck with it. Maybe if there's a contest going that I don't want to participate in, and I'm itchin' for some CW, I'll give 30 another shot... 73's Trev - K6ESE http://www.qsl.net/k6ese 73's Trev - K6ESE http://www.qsl.net/k6ese ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rod N0RC" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 10:48 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Your favorite bands > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <[hidden email]> > To: <[hidden email]> > Sent: Friday, July 16, 2004 9:17 AM > Subject: [Elecraft] Your favorite bands > > > > It's been a while since I sent out a general question like this: What > > is/are your favorite band(s) and why?

Love 40 meters! Always open to somewhere from East Central Indiana. It's
fun to listen to 40 meters after local sundown and hear the states west of the Mississippi start rolling in. After 0300 the entire western US is reachable on a few watts. I enjoy 20 meters because I never know where it will be open to....could be EU, could be KS, could be anywhere. I hang out around the FISTS calling freq of 14058 kHz. Always someone there to QSO with. I visited Trev's (K6ESE) website and looked at some of the items he purchased from "The Radio Room." Gosh, I hope that one day 40 years from now I will be such a QRP legend that they manufacture coffee mugs, lunch boxes and t-shirts with my picture on them (ASHTABULA BILL).

Favorite amateur radio band: 20m (cw)
Reasons: - An effective antenna, even a directional one, does not need to be prohibitively large or heavy. (my Hex Beam weighs about 7 pounds, and has a turning radius of a little over 9 feet). Have also had success w/ vertical dipoles, and ground planes. - Lots of propagation surprises, even when condx. are less than optimal - Overall band noise is quite low (compared to the lower bands such as 30m, 40m, and 80m) - The band is generally open to both dx and stateside simultaneously - Wide range of skill levels of cw op's keeps things interesting - Reasonably active band, and pretty easy to stir up an interesting qso - A decent bit of QRP activity 30m band is a fun band as well, but (at least at this qth) lots of strange non-ham radio signals chewing up major segments of the band during the evening hours. But a simple antenna such as a sloper or dipole, can work very well on this band. Other favorite 'Bands' ... Orford String Quartet for: Beethoven string quartets Cleveland Orchestra w/ George Szell for: Beethoven symphonies and piano concertos Academy of Ancient Music w/ Christopher Hogwood for: Beethoven symphonies, played with period instruments North German Radio Symphony Orchestra w/ Gunter Wand for: Brahms and Bruckner symphonies Concertgebouw Orchestra w/ Bernard Haitink for: Shostakovich symphonies 73, Dale / WA8SRA _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
