Poll for the new legal UK wide SSB calling frequency for 11m DX
With the legalisation of SSB/AM on the EU band here in the UK, we (The CB community) need to decide which frequency/channel to use for calling. We have asked for suggestions from various groups/forums and came up with a short-list from which we can vote on.
The results from this forum will be combined with those of other participating sites/forums, and the eventual majority winner will be chosen as the recommended calling channel across all the sites/forums involved. This will give the biggest say on the decision, as well as ensuring that any eventual winner is adopted by as many CB users as-possible, both here in the UK and beyond.
Each site/forum member will have one vote on each. One for SSB and one for AM. You may choose to state your supporting arguments for your choices on the thread, but please keep it to a single post and not an argument/discussion thread. Posts may be removed/moved if this gets out of hand.
Results will be collated and published in-full for transparency across all sites/forums involved
The Choices for SSB calling
SSB
CH12 USB
CH27 USB
CH34 USB
CH38 LSB
No defined Call Channel

Re: Poll for the new legal UK wide SSB calling frequency for 11m DX
Channel 27, 27275 USB
I like the idea of having a dedicated UK wide SSB calling frequency.
My choice is 27275, because I like the 27 element.
Also 27385 LSB will be unworkable during any kind of propagation, go and listen right now

Ch27 for me kind of nostalgic.

Re: Poll for the new legal UK wide SSB calling frequency for 11m DX
27 here too. I don't believe the TM1 results so far are accurate with a massive lead on the worst possible channel choice (38 for those that are just picking up on this). Sure it's all a bit of fun anyway.

Re: Poll for the new legal UK wide SSB calling frequency for 11m DX
I would expect that the TM1 vote will come more into line with the others as voting continues
I'm just concerned that some people think it's a DX channel we are voting for when it's actually a CALLING channel. The two are quite different things!

Hopefully that's the case. My 'Something's Fishy' image was removed quite hastily by admin on there, to be fair it probably was a bit over jovial of me in the first place!
Still, the DX or UK Call channel issue seems to be starting to pop up a bit more often in the various threads now. I think the threads should just be in various/general CB radio topics. Also there is some confusion particularly on facebook groups for some in thinking this whole mid legalisation and choosing an SSB call is somehow to replace 555...!

It's never straight forward is it?
