Memorial Day - 29.60 in on fire

[W8UU]

Here in southeast Ohio, I'm hearing Florida to New York QSOs. Lots of pile ups. Might be a great day for VHF Low Band DX work.

Thanks for the info. I can remember hearing radio station IFB's years ago when 10m was open, wonder if they are still in use.

Very few are still operational. You used to scan 26 MHz and find something good just about anytime skip was rolling.

I'm almost 200 miles from 29.62. Just about every night I go out into the yard with a Motorola MT1000 lowband portable with stock 12 inch rubber duck and receive it great! I can get into the repeater if I get on the 2nd story. Great stuff! Love it

Heard Ontario the other night as well on the MT1000 portable in the window at sunset!

I also have a mint condition MT1000 99ch 29-36 MHz unit with a new antenna. It has one of the hottest receivers ever. When the skip is rolling in it comes alive. Good DX!!!
