tuning the radio down a bit, AM CB is going crazy, 26.715, 26.865, 26.895, and 26.915 are booming in, someone playing music on .715 and yelling in spanish. SSB on 27.425, 27.435, 27.515 and international calling coming in on 27.555. I'm going outside with my CB now to listen to sideband but this sounds like a pretty intense band opening
edit 7:05 eastern.
went to overlook past downtown Richmond, CB channel 19 noise level is up to S-5...put my radio on 38 LSB and heard West Virginia, St. Louis, Iowa and a few others...the noise levels on CB make it almost unbearable to listen to.
