[Staybolt]

Who uses the band between 21.450 to 21.850? Some guys are talking about talking on 13 meters on Facebook.. I doubt its legal! :glare:

i have never used it. I have tuned through there a time or 2 but don't remember ever hearing anything. But I have never seen it on a band plan. Maybe other countries use that band.

Well if you don't have a license to transmit on that band then it IS illegal. 13m is an international shortwave broadcast band. It IS allocated as such.

i might check it out sometime. I have been listening for years for unauthorized transmissions on shortwave, "echo-charlie" they call it, and have found none (outside of 11 meter freeband). 13 sounds kind of pointless, just another sunspot propagation band, better than 11 meters but not much.

Thanks Cap'n. I always wondered about the shortwave bands but never looked them up. I have a couple Freq. I tune to to listen. But that is about it. Well time to listen to radio Havana to see why us Infidel Americans are so bad.

Yeah some guys on Facebook are bragging about being on there running converted ham gear and linears... Only time will tell until they get caught!

They despise us because our toaster over technology far exceeds theirs. They're years away from getting convection fans in theirs. :tongue:

Thanks for the link. I don't participate in freebanding but I do find it interesting. Occasionally I like to listen to the conversations there. I find it amazing how most people there are having a casual conversation while potentially racking up such a large fine. It also amazes me how much more civilized some of the freebanding can be by comparison to some CB activity.
