[Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net for Sunday 20m needs a new frequency

[T. David Yarnes]

The frequency you were trying (14,235 khz) is right smack in 
the middle of slow scan TV.  That's probably what you were 
fighting.  Much lower would be better, but then you probably 
exclude many non-extras.  So, I would suggest you go to the 
very top of the band, maybe around 14,345 khz.  You could 
move down from there, subject to QRM, but watch out for 
14,336 khz, which is where the county-hunters hang out. 
Somewhere in that top 10 khz portion of the band I suspect 
you have a good chance of finding a clear spot.  Maybe 
someone else knows if there is anything else up there I'm 
not aware of.
