1105-1125utc I am hearing loads of CW across 3500-3550khz. I checked military and the band plan-IDK. Anyone have what all these (like 20) CW transmissios would be?

I also got Honolulu Volmet on 2863khz usb
...and foreign conversation on 4105khz usb

ok I thought so but the "band plan" from the ARRL
Band Plan
has it starting higher up the band than 3500khz.
Anyways I hear a lot of CW today at 20 and 15meters too very active.

Man, that's just music to my ears.

3500 - 3600 CW band.

Also CW can be anywhere in the entire band (although now heard very often on the phone sections)

3500-3525 is CW only for Extra Class Licensees and no one else. In general, the lower end of 80 meters is CW, although as was written above you're liable to hear CW at any point in the 3500-4000 kHz range. That ARRL Band Plan referenced above is a total waste of time in that the information given is incomplete.

That band plan shows 80M as being from 3500 to 4000, it does not specifically define where CW only is, but remember CW is allowed anyplace on the band, it is not restricted as other modes are.

This plan: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Hambands_color.pdf is a better one to graphicaly see the bands.

T!
