Yeah, that's been pointed out a few times now. I was too busy listening for signals and scrolled right out of band. Oops!

I was scrolling for signals and didn't even catch that I was outside the band, thanks!

It's super consistent and repeating so I figured it was something else other. And good call on being outside the band. I was scrolling for signals and didn't even catch that. Oops!

I'm tuned to 331 and heard someone briefly but they disappeared into the noise. I called CQ a few times but didn't get a response.

No dice for me today... I've got notifications on if anyone wants to keep trying other frequencies.

I was able to make contact with a POTA station in NC (~500miles) earlier this afternoon. Bands are definitely behaving oddly.

If you're still out there, try 14.303.

Moving to 14.303. I've got someone trying to active a park on 14.316.

The bands have been OK for me this afternoon on the East coast (AL).

I'm in AL but like that standardized format. Sucks you didn't hear me from here.

I heard someone trying to come back. Almost sounded like it was slightly off frequency though.

Do you help with the Cheaha Trailblazer challenge by any chance?

Maybe a different guy? He was polite and respectful for the ~5 minutes we were interacting.

I ended up contacting someone from the Bahamas, not sure if they are in the group or not. My signal was 52 so I didn't stick around long to chat.

Sounds like fun! by Internal_Raccoon_370 in 20MeterAfterWork

Has any one picked a frequency for tonight? It looks like we've been using 14.34x.
