[GCARC] FORTY Meter Ragchew Frequency

[Tony Starr]

We tried, again and again.  Most of the time, we could not find a clear
frequency, and with many of our regulars only running 100 watts, if we did
find a clear frequency, we could not hold it for very long.  The 40m phone
band is extremely crowded most evenings. Moving down into the Extra Class
sub band has allowed us to keep the net going.  It was either that or
everyone on the net must run 1500 watts.  We chose to move down.  That is
the reason, in a nutshell.
