hi there,
Original in Holland its 26,965-27.405
Since a while we are able to use all modes.
The main calling frequenties and mode remains ch 14 27.125 FM for base stations
And trucks at 27.185 (fm)
There is quite some European DX going on around 27.315 (ch 31/32/33) also in FM
We are still getting used to USB which has been allowed only the last years.
The focus remains on FM cause thats what it "normally" was.
Some have found out the US is on 27.385 Lsb...but if the prop is open that good as it was today (which happens quite often last couple months) Its not fun to call there.
You have actually so many stations returning the call its difficult to pick on out.
AM modulation hasnt been discovered (yet).
There are many many DXers who all have the focus around 27.555 say 27.4-27.8 Mhz
With the primairy aspect between 27.4-27.6 Mhz in USB.
It is not legal, but if you dont cause QRM ....well...it seems the radio police thankfully have other things to do, which is wise cause most "dxers" become or are HAM.
Almost forgot... in the UK there is a band from 27.661,25 to 27.991.25 (10kHz spacing)
in FM. Its only allowed in the UK as far as i know but it will give you US guys a good indication if the band is open or not (since the UK often comes in first in the US).
Take care!
