(shakes fist.....uttering words that can't be said over the air!!!  Wish I had DSP, but all things considered, both my receivers do very well for their age and there is rarely a station out there that I can't pick out of the noise with a little knob fiddling. All the 3, 4, 5, 8 landers usually boom in here nicely even without running amplifiers.
Seriously though, If a few people in different geographical areas monitor some higher and lower frequencies(staying within the general portion) and if possible, as close as possible to 7.213, and report back here in a week or two, we should be able to reestablish a more useable freq and maybe resume some kind of regular net contact. Of course propagation conditions may change but should be predictable enough to pick a reliable and quieter freq. I'm in the northeast and can listen for several hours a day. I'll report on what foreign broadcasts are where and the closest quiet frequencies. |

Are there any other NOAA HF broadcasts, i.e. other coasts, inland, etc? (Referencing the card: NOAA 6.604 10.051 USB east coast HF weather, NOAA 13.270 USB east coast HF weather)

There used to be a simple EPIRB frequency, where all you had to do was transmit a beacon on interval.
Is that obsolete now with the newer technology where you also transmit your call sign or serial number? If call sign, the Yaesu line of radios have an emergency mode where it will transmit a beacon with CW periodically. |

I propose to add the ERPN (Eastern Regional Patriots Net) and the APRN (American Prepers Radio Net) to the useful nets list...
the EPRN is at 3860 mon-sat at 8pm EST wed is slightly hit or miss. the APRN is best looked up at there webpage they rotate around the bands and are 3 days a week. |

Is there any chance that you could make that reference card so it will print to a full size sheet of paper? Maybe I can do it on this end and my excel foo is weak. I had visions of printing it landscape and laminating it. |

440.975 is the input freq for a repeater in Nassau NY, CTCSS 123.0. Not sure if this would be an issue but just to let you know.
I have only checked the 2m and 70cm frequencies for the NY and NJ area as that is the area I am in and the frequencies I would use. |

Just an FYI....
Radio Canada International is no more. They went dark this last weekend. The 9625 transmitter will be going off the air at the end of July. Radio Netherlands in English is also gone now. I've added AFRN, WWCR, Radio new Zealand, and Radio Australia frequencies to my version in their place. Here's the freqs for those who are interested in updating their own versions accordingly: AFN (ssb)4.3195.7655.446.57.812.5 12.113.5 13.262 Armed Forces Network WWCR4.8405.9357.49012.1609.35013.845 Worldwide Christian Radio RNZI 15.720.11.7256.170.9.655 Radio New Zealand Intl.

folks, is publishing MARS frequencies verboten? ar-jedi Just joined and, in reading earlier posts to try to 'catch up', I saw your query... Yes, although they are 'known' to most hams who are also SWL's, their publication is discouraged to minimize disruption and deliberate interference on the nets. I don't even know if MARS is still a viable on-the-air entity. I had to quit participating when they ignorantly changed most of the net frequencies to a range that my radios (Icom) wouldn't operate on due to internal frequency conflicts. KF4TEN / AAT4PU Joe |
