Do you know where these guys are located? I was hearing them more often and with better audio quality than the MO HP 42 MHz frequencies I usually hear a lot of when the band is open....

I've heard them before but I don't know. They have never given and street or city names to use as clues.

Their accents are unremarkable as well, but since the band has been open more often than not lately maybe eventually we'll get some identifying information...or maybe even a callsign!!

From locations given, they were in Rogers AR today.
