    But when you try to solder Litz wire you just want to put the Megahertz on it!

    This interests me greatly. I set up my antennas to favor the West. I could rearrange one of them.

    That's the so-called "Echo Charlie" 45M allocation. Another spot to listen is 3470-3480LSB. Charles, you'll probably have a very good chance of picking up European-based activity from your location.

    The Euro crew is also fond of 12.120, 13.970 and 20.970. I've been hearing reports of them using a bit of spectrum just above WWV on 15MHz, and adjacent to the 17M amateur allocation.

    13.555 plays host to a bunch of Central Americans on occasion.

    Touch a match to the end you want to solder, then
    scrape it clean between your finger and thumb nails. :)

    I know how to solder it, but it's not as easy as you make it out to be. There is Litz wire, then there is Litz wire on steroids!

    Well, since you said ANY, haha, I always leave the 2 Meter on our club's repeater, 147.360 MHz, but I usually leave the HF on 3.983 MHZ for the Western PA on Phone And Traffic Net.
    What's Up!
