Hi Jack,
I am running on a fixed frequency of 7219KHz (VFO frequency), in LSB with
1000Hz audio offset. So the signal center frequency is 7218. I chose that
part of the digital band plan segment since it is relatively quiet and
rarely used by hams (at least in the last 4 weeks I monitored it).
Broadcast stations are completely silent during the daylight hours and
should not be too much of a problem at night if we have a good signal
between us. I was in QLD a couple of weeks ago and I had all day 100% linkup
with a simple dipole 12 feet in the air and 100watts.
I am also on skype if you use it. My user id: john_douyere.
73s,
John
