[TowerTalk] OT Handy bit of info

[Roger (K8RI)]

That's almost enough to discourage a new ham from getting on the air.
Most of it should be a reference as to where groups hang out, give or 
take a bit, but not a band plan.
Whether it's meant that way of not, the words "band plan" carry a 
connotation of being sanctioned and official, not a list of where people 
and nets hang out.

As an example, 40 meters which is the only HF band I'm on until I get 
the other antennas back up, so it's the only one I'm really familiar 
with.  7.16 to 7.19 is almost solid DX when the band is open which for 
the past few years has been dark to daylight and often well into 
daylight.  That will change as propagation changes over the next few 
years. For a net of any kind to exist in that range takes a lot of 
members over a very wide area.  County hunters is one that holds their 
own most of the time but they are near the edge
