20m Calling Frequency

[Stefan N.]

Hi all. 

Any suggestions on the following topic ?: 

Given the high level of activity on the 20m band, wouldn't it be a good idea to QSY after a connection has been made on the ‘14.236 Calling Channel’?

Hi Stefan,

This seems reasonable to me considering that this is already standard practice on the VHF/UHF FM simplex frequencies (at least around here), but it would be good to hear feedback from others as well.

Thanks,

Hi Mooneer,

I can vouch for the fact that it's the same standard practice on VHF/UHF SSB here.
Even with much less activity than there is now in FreeDV (which is nice), it really makes sense.

It can be a bit confusing and tricky to call in, especially on 14.236, when the conditions are good for DX,

by seeing the Frequency busy by longer QSO‘s.

Thanks and 73,

Stefan
