15m is my favorite band. I'm on 15m during the day, either FT8, PSK31, RTTY and SSB. There's lots of good DX contacts that comes through on all modes. If the band conditions are good, it'll open up early in the morning around 9am to 10am here in East Tennessee. Lot's of European, Russian and sometimes Middle Eastern countries are coming through. During the evening, I've worked Japan on 15m using the Grayline Propagation. Sometimes it'll stay open late into the early morning around 1 or 2 am, sometimes 3 am. There's usually hardly any SSB activity exceptduring a contest, so 15m makes a great ragchew band compared to the others. It's also great for RTTY for the digital ops as well. Hope to catch you all on 15m soon. 73, W4ISB Mike in Tennessee

I never had much luck with 15m until quite recently; with the improving propagation I've been on several times lately and managed to work a Japanese station with about 70W of cw. It's good for QRP, less absorption and more efficient antennas are easier to implement.

I used to listen a lot back in the 1960s early 70s. 21 Mhz was always my favourite band. Much like 28 Mhz but open more often and somehow more civilised. Still that was a long time ago. A year or so ago got my M7 but so far have no kit so have not yet experienced the delights of HF QRP . Hopefully one day ! 73s de Stu. M7EOS
