10 Meter

Listen on 28.400. If the band opens up, somebody will usually be on. If you make contact, try to remember to move to another frequency, thus leaving the calling freq open for others to use.
i know i'll just be wasting my time,but,.............. 28.400 is NOT the ssb calling freq.

28.400 is NOT a "calling freq" by any KNOWN "official" amateur oganization, U.S. or INTERNATIONAL.
anyone can start a website and put out MIS-information.:blink:
this idea seems to have been fabricated by some people that have an HF SSB operating range of 28.300 - 28.500 and think that 28.400 (right in the middle of their band) is an INTERNATIONAL calling freq. it's not.
the ONLY (world-wide) SSB 10 meter calling freq is 28.385 USB (QRP).
It is a "de facto" calling frequency. At the end of the day, band plans are not mandatory anyway, just a good idea and common courtesy to follow them. As far as I know, 14.230 is not "officially" anything other than another 20 meter frequency, but it is the de facto SSTV calling frequency for that band.
And if everybody is listening on a particular frequency, whatever it is, and nobody's transmitting, then nobody's going to hear another station, right?
Try a CQ. I've called CQ on "dead" bands and had a ball with one QSO after another for an hour and more.

gee, i don't mean to come over as a whiner/bitcher, but,.......... CW PORTION???
1. you CAN use CW in the "ssb frequency" area of 10 meters.
2. this program transmits in OLIVIA or MT63 or DOMINIOex11(FEC) modes.
if you simply use it in "just cw portion" of the band , you may have a problem.
there are "gentlemans agreements" and then there are FCC regulations, don't get them confused. jus sayin
op:Made my first contact, he is only a few towns over from me but its still a contact !! W1RIL !
28.400 go figure, we moved to 28.410 as there may have been another station as well.
It may not be an Official Calling Freq if there is such a thing, but it worked for me, I also listen on 28.385.

I'll throw a call on 28.400 at about 8pm Eastern.
