I'm on really flat land, first off, we're talkin' REALLY FLAT, that may make
a difference. I usually get pelted by the normal ch6, ch11 everything else
is fairly quiet down there except 19, which is obvious. I started
monotoring ch 9 on the bench while doing repairs, I stopped when I could not
listen to music because the spanish gibberish and swearing was too much for
the squelch to keep it down for effective safety monotoring. Same thing
happened in the pickup with just a 3' Firestik and the former cheapo cobra,
so I know it's not my "amazing" base antenna Dunno, maybe I'm just in
the right spot, where are you located Frank? I'm in Central Illinois.
Pretty far away from Mexico or other spanish speaking countries.


I'm in the Columbia Basin. Pretty quiet, although we do get skip from
California and Mexico from time to time. Occasionally Alberta, too.
The east coast comes in low and steady, but nothing from the midwest.
