[AMRadio] 10 Meter QRP AM Frequency

[Mike Duke, K5XU]

As the previous cycle began to peak, there was some discussion on the 
QRP list about a rallying frequency for people who were running 
converted CB rigs.

One suggestion was to use 29.065. For rigs which were converted with 
the simple 2 MHZ move upward, 29.065 fell on channel 9 of the radio's 
display.

The reason for this suggested frequency was that many of the CB rigs 
built since the early 1980s default to channel 9 when powered up. Some 
even had a channel 9 priority watch feature. The CB rigs behaved this 
way because channel 9 was supposed to be the nation wide "emergency 
only" channel.

While some operators of the converted CB rigs began using 29.065, it 
never really caught on as an "official" qrp frequency.

Nevertheless, it is far enough removed from the occasional congestion 
around 29.0, that a low power signal can usually be heard there with 
less likelihood of being unintentionally clobbered by a higher powered 
station.
