We are getting great signals from the California Highway Patrol and others on lowband in California here in Cheyenne WY. It started about noon and has been strong all afternoon.

On 39 and 42 mHz both??????? Should not be long before we can hear it again here is SC. Been waiting a long time.
Strong signal from Ft. Hood TX range control on 30.45 right now.

thats one of the problems with low band, the band can go long and you can hear a signal 200 or more miles away and not be able to pick it up 20 miles away. Several years ago I was the disaster chairman for a red cross chapter in florida. we were working a fire in a hotel that burned out over 100 people that we were trying to get placed. we got a teletype from seattle, washington asking if we would cut back on the radio traffic, as our mobiles were blocking even the base station in seattle some 3,000 miles away. we never heard them, but they said mobiles and base was coming in much louder than their own radios. this was on 47.42 simplex and their vehicles could hear our mobiles.
Yep both 42 and 39
Both 42 and 39 were active, and I heard some businesses up around 47-49 mhz.

I dont know about anyone else but there is nothing better than skip in the 46mhz range.
open again
I am a work it is 0800 MST and the skip is rolling on lowband again! I am glad I told the boss we needed the low band antenna last summer! I am hearing 42.xx freqs coming from the east. Set your scanner to sweep from 30 - 54 it should be good today.
