According to the ARRL, the April issue will have the article on the BC shutdown
on 40 meters. Since most folks will get the April issue in the middle of
March, I guess they figured April was soon enough to print anything major about
it.

Hi Jim - been a long time since our long path QSO's on 75 meters in the
morning Arizona time. How have you been? Are you also into boatanchors now?
40 meters was pretty good over the weekend during the phone DX test.
Their were holes in the QRM where you could work plenty of DX stations

Don't get too excited about a quiet 40m..
The radio regs footnote 141C (141B in early drafts) lists a string of
countries including most of North Africa & ME, Australia, New Zealand,
China, Japan, Korea, Papua New Guinea + others who, after 29 March 2009,

I did listen last night around 1800 UTC and found 7100-7200
pritty much filled up.
I had very loud stations at:
7105
7120
7135
7145
7160
7170
7180
7190
7200
And possibly weaker ones also but just went for the
super loud.
Lets see if we see any change next month.

Early Tuesday evening, at about 2400 GMT I worked Steve HUZ on 7160 kHz
until the band went long and I lost him at 0030 right in the middle of a
transmission - just as if he had flipped a power switch and dropped from 1
kw down to a few milliwatts. All in about 5 seconds. But the whole time, no
Todd, I have built several towers like your talking about. If you do as
you have said you will not have any troubles. Here is how the base
should be made, keep in mind your soil type has something to do with the
depth of the base. Here in Illinois I would dig the base 20 inches

I have inherited a Mosley tribander with an 18 ft boom. It did not come with a
salvagable tower. I have 3 sections of standard TV tower (steel ladder style 3
corner.) I can probably acquire 2 more easily and cheaply. What I would like to
do is use one of the 10 ft sections as a base in sufficie
I agree with WA7LYO, guess it's something for the string to talk about, but
we are really not going to see any difference after the 29th. There is NO
WAY those b'casters are going to retune and cut new feed lines and all the
adjustment needed for some of there high power rigs and tower systems
