[Boatanchors] Collins Listening Frequency

[Al Parker]

Hi Dave,
    14.292 has been a boatanchor freq. for many yrs.  The Vintage Sideband
Net has operated there at 3PM ET on Sun. for 8-10 yrs, and a group of us
used to get on there on Wed. nites, but that's dwindled with the change in
propagation the last 2-3 yrs.  It'll be nice to hear some activity there
during the week.
    Everyone's welcome to check in with us on Sundays, we have plenty of
Collins operators.  There's a Hallicrafters group earlier, and Heathkit
after us.  Lynn, K5LYN, is the usual net ctrl, several others of us help
out.
73,
Al, W8UT
