I am bring my systems back on line after many year
refit and need some help with the testing of my
SSB. I have an
Icom 700pro and need to test how well my grounding and tuner are opperating. I need a hailing frequency for a net that is operating at 10 AM EST and/or 4 PM EST to get a
transmission check. Some of the frequency's I have come across, have cruisers running their mouths for a half an hour on end and they are just BSing...they don't shut up! I need 30 sec to do the check and
transmission distance without talking over some blabbermouth.
Any help is appreciated and/or a technique whereas I can break into a conversation politely. I am on the
East coast of
Florida and the last thing I want to be is RUDE.
