Since I've upgraded, I've still tried occasionally to keep up this
custom of going into the novice bands and calling a slow CQ in case
there are any folks wanting to have a QSO. In fact, just in the last
month, I've been doing this a lot more. However... in the last month I
think I've spent a total of two solid hours calling CQ (!) without a
single response. How sad, but there seems to be nobody left in the
novice bands, let alone any that would answer my CQ. I haven't heard a
single signal there in years. Have you?
It would be really nice if, say, 50k-60k were to be considered a
"slower speed" segment. It's just beyond the high activity areas on most
bands, but close enough in that it doesn't take any extra effort to visit.
I never hear anything on the FIST calling freqs (usually 58k up from
the bottom of the band), but they should be ideal places to find
operators who are happy to QRS.
