Hi Frank, I'd consider 80M, particularly between 3550 and 3560. There are several groups that inhabit this area: FISTS, NAQCC and QRPers. There's usually a couple QSOs going on and you can find new CW ops as well as oldtimers to build your confidence and speed.
40M is also popular (7025 to 7060), but you can run into BC and SSB interference on popular frequencies and times. It is more of a challenge. There's a lot of QRP action here. 30M is a good option also. You have a shot at DX, it's not too crowded and QRM is less likely from non-ham sources. Hope to catch you on the air and welcome to the Elecraft family too... Maybe we can turn you into a contester as well ;o) 73, Julius n2wn _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
