now the fun will be to track down where they all moved to !!!!
FYI: for those of you who enjoy arabic music, Radio Tunis TUNESIA (x-7.190) has moved to 7.335....
ahhhhhhhhhh........now i can enjoy the music without some lid calling CQ on top of them...i used to be tempted to grab the mic and reply: "yes OM , the freq IS in use...by Radio Tunis !' :-)

Yes, it is quiet without the hets and there is more ham activity than ever before. I did notice someone on 7110khz before sunset tonight, will have to check that one out. Before the switch, I video taped as much as I could between 7100 and 7200 ... hopefully I'll get that up on YouTube soon.
Still some slow morse code to be found just above 7100khz, remnants of the old Novice Class band I guess. I used to LIVE on 7113khz where one of my few crystals was parked back in '76 and '77. Ahhh, the good 'ol days. LOL!
