GB> 80 meter novice band

[Brian Carling]

Yes the old 80m and 40m novice bands have been COOKING 
lately.
I am even venturing above 7150 occasionally for the OLD, 
OLD 40m CW band - why not? It's operfectly legal to use CW 
there. For the younger guys - we used to use 7150 - 7200 all 
the time as part of the "novice sub-band."

See you on the air guys!
 
> once i thought i would find a community on 7050 of boat anchor type fellows, but that has not happened. neither on the low end of the 80 meter band. but.....i have had many (20+) enjoyable contacts on the 80 meter novice band reciently, some with low power tube stations.
