I agree with these 75 meters comments. I wonder if it is because 75 meters is the night-time band, after dinner, and sometimes maybe after drinking too much.
But, CW eliminates almost all of that, maybe all of that. Of course, this would be 80 meters but if you want to be on that end of the spectrum for night time QSOs — CW is the way to go. 73, phil, K7PEH P.S. I am a bit embarrassed to write these OT comments but I have strong negative feelings about 75 meter phone band. > On Feb 14, 2016, at 10:43 AM, Bob Novas <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm dismayed by much of what I hear on 75.
