At the time I was against the move because as you say it worked well for
years and why change for one person.
In future to suit the majority of USA stations I will TX on 136.318 Khz and
will be on tonite on that frequency.
Your shots of both freq shows the advantage of 136.318 also the possibility
of EU stations being heard/seen on the West coast of Canada is Remote.
Warren indicated he also had a problem from QRM on 136.177
Others reading this email might want to consider moving back to the old
tried and tested frequency.
136.318           136.318
I am running around 0.5w erp at present but can QRO to 1w erp if needed for
a QSO

Nice to have your opinion and pse adjust your Grabber to 318
also hope W4DEX and AA1A will have a look for TA acty agn.


I will start TA QSO mode tonite at 2230 utc if Dex and Warren
