[ILQSO] Re: 75 m SSB freqs

[MT]

The only problem is you can reduce the number of random QSO's with 
general class ops by CQing outside of their privs. With all the new 
entry level HF guys, it is somewhat beneficial to stay in their 
privs.  I'm sure I have a different perspective on this since I work 
so many uniques each year.

If you notice most of the activity on 40 in all QSO parties is above 
.225.   I would think staying above 3850 is a wise choice except for 
the "I sleep with my sister" or "the country cousins in love" nets 
who think they own 5KHz each side of their usual net freq.  I guess 
it is a trade off for what you plan to do on SSB.

Every year someone tells me to move on 40m because a net is coming up 
in 20 minutes.  I always ask them to move up 1.5 and I will move down 
1.5, but it rarely happens that way.  Then it turns into a 
QRMfest.  Luckily, I am loud enough on 40 and have been the same spot 
for 3 hours that they go away.  It's worth the issues since there are 
tons of Qs to be had above 7.225.  If I was CQing at 7128, I doubt 
there would be as many stations to work. YMMV
