1908-1909 seems to be clear hear just about all the time this season. Some
other carriers and local birdies mask 1910 and 1912 khz much of the time.
Though K1ZM observed a few weeks ago that 1911 khz was best for him.

I chose 1826 simply because that is where JD1AMA was QSX (according to spots
on Webcluster a few weeks ago). Wishful thinking perhaps; I don't even know
if he is still QRV, but I need that one! Could easily shift to a better spot
for JA.

tnx....
today JA7OEM was spotted (on 1911 khz) by K7CA around 0750z, but I had no
copy (his freq. was clear then).
I noticed too that HL5BPL was QRV after our sunrise on 1825 kHz. This is a
very poor frequency for the East Coast because of BC harmonics/spurs and
local QRM from TV set sweep oscillators. 1821-24 khz is generally clear and
would be a better choice if he can give it a try for the East Coast. Sunrise
today here was 1211z.
