I like to hang out on 80M CW in the winter. There are times that I can
call CQ for 15 minutes with a KW and not get an answer on 3525Khz. I'm
absolutely sure if I CQ'd on 3695Khz, I would never get an answer.
I hate it, but facts are facts. These frequencies would be better
utilized if the SSB band were widened.
