Any errors or omissions, please let me know and we'll correct and repost again and then ask that Jerry Parker, Steve Hideg, et. al. put them on web pages. I have added the 10.116MHz that we all started using frequently due to commercial RTTY station(s) at 10.106MHz and the 7.035MHz that the Fox Hunt has started as a gathering place twice a week. The rest of the time we can start there or 7.040MHz if it is clear of QSOs in progress. 7.112MHz added from the large number of NorCal crystal controlled rigs and crystals sold by the Club to a large number of people. Also added the colorburst crystal frequency which the New England Club takes over in February with their exercise. When you get on the air, first check these frequencies out to see if the band is open and if your fellow QRP buddies are trying to find someone to talk to. Of course, you should chase up and down the bands as far as you VXO or VFO will allow. Last night picked up another CO8 and this a.m. called CQ on 30m when I heard noone else and got a VE3 for a good half hour QSO. Don't just listen. Transmit once in a while. Probe the ionosphere. Practice your sending. Warm up the final PA once in a while. See if it still works. :-) If anyone knows of nets that meet on these frequencies also, let us know and what times. We don't have exclusive rights to these puppies. Maybe Preston Douglas, WJ2V, can start his group for 80m SSB on the same freq for 75m, 3.985MHz. I'll ask Ron KU7Y to publish these again in QQ. Print these when we get the list finalized and put on the desk next to the rig(s).

Not. OK, it's 7.122MHz for the Novice NorCal frequencies. So if you put them somewhere, please show a correction. Thanks On the 40-9er bit. After someone calls CQ with a 40-9er please move back and forth to see if someone is calling you if you at first don't hear anyone. We'll come back with a 2x2 call to give you time. Thanks as we are guessing as to whether you are modified or unmodified. :-) Rig is a 40-9er/U (unmodified) or 40-9er/M (modified or mobile) ;-) Here's looking for you kid. . .
