There was considerable discussion re BA & GB freqs on these two bands, but I'm not aware that any actual freqs were chosen. As I'm about to enter one of my regular poverty periods, I'd like to get some real numbers down so that I can get my order in before the cash flow dries up ;-) I'm loaded with 40-meter xtals and have one for 30 meters, but none for the two lower bands. How about four or five good choices for each band, with a couple of AM freqs in each? 73 de WB6BYH - -- "Start off every day with a smile and get it over with." --W.C.Fields Tom R.

Hi Tom, For 80, the colorburst frequency 3579 khz is the big one to have and xtals for that frequency are plenty cheap. For 160, we have been using 1802.5 for cw work. 1843 khz rocks are cheap too, but cw and am are not too highly thought of on that qrg. Maybe 1930 khz would be a good am spot. Anyone familiar with the customary usage on the top end of 160? 73, Conard
