I Like 20M Dave, along with 40M most of my Ham QSO's have been on these two bands. they are open more than 10M and my G5RV tunes in OK on them aswell.

Re: 20 metres


Worked Canada, Iran and USA on 20m but couldnt find any NA stations for EC contact, called and called, but no go emoticon

Heard Iran and USA talking, good for radio that it doesn't matter about borders, politics etc. emoticon Also heard Irag calling and working France on 14145, just listened in, too many stations trying to come back to him, including USA emoticon
