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
