"That's the status quo, best to just avoid 14313Khz Donnie and some guy named Karol out of VE7 land as well."
Yeah, KKKarol VE7KFM and his Klown Circus have been around for years..../QUOTE]
As usual, Warren KB2VXA doth protest too much, too hyperbolically and much too inaccurately – especially about someone [Karol VE7KFM] who nominally is not here to defend himself….
So let us count the error of Warren’s Technician ways – opining as he does about HF, something he per force knows less about -- and set the facts/record straight, especially for inexperienced/impressionable/patently mis-led ‘newbies’ such as "dogjello", the OP:
Karol [sic] VE7KFM is virtually never heard ab initio calling on 14.313 MHz. Karol has an interest in ~14.272-.274 MHz on the 20m Band. For reasons why, either carefully monitor the frequency range ~14.272-.274 MHz or peruse:
THE LIFE OF RILEY
The occasional time when VE7KFM is heard on 14.313 MHz it’s usually either after being DIRECTLY called thereon by Donnie N4TAT, David WA1BHV or Doug NR5T -- or occasionally replying to their CQs -- but typically only if they have no other takers and/or are being maliciously QRM’ed….
N4TAT -- w/ whom VE7KFM had at least one vehement on-air disagreement lasting more than an hour w/i the past year -- is nobody’s fool….
Ergo, he is unlikely to be Karol’s “Klown” and as a single/solitary individual, logically can NOT be a “Circus”….
BTW I have observed that N4TAT is NOT all that friendly w/ WA1BHV and especially NR5T, w/ whom he has had more than one serious on-air disagreement….
Ergo, it’s highly unlikely that the minimum two or the maximum three of them would band together long enough to form a “Circus” for Karol….
But, Warren is right in VERY small part: there is a “Circus” on 14.313 MHz....
The “Circus” that Warren “projects” on VE7KFM and one to three ad hoc correspondents there, is currently composed of his sometime “friends” – usually working in concert/QRM’ing w/ several unidentified HAMereekan stations -- some of whom do NOT even appear to have a licence and/or FRAUDulently use call-signs belonging to other licencees!
To determine the Truth of this for yourself, CAREFULLY listen to 14.313 MHz for a day, week or month -- but remember to always engage brain 1st [assuming you have one] -- and pay particular attention to what is HAPPENING on freq., not what the 14.313 MHz “Circus” SAYS is happening….
And, if the “Circus” sends you off-air to an exceedingly short, ANONymous, UN-attributed, Cloaked but fundamentally FRAUDulent website that has VE7KFM as the ONLY identifier in the URL, that should be your 1st definitive clue that you have sh*t-for-brains and are getting snookered!
GL in the KKKontest [sic] as Brian ‘Psycho’ CROW K3VR, the widely acknowledged Head “Klown” and Master of the 20m travelling “Circus” is wont to say....
