Please note new frequency: 27.455MHz USB

[Net Chair]

Good evening
Aplogies for lack of loglists recently n just to say whilst being on 27.445/455 usb weve had on average 20 or so stations in the log which aint too bad but its not numbers we want its being able to pass the stations around the net to which radio conditions has made it very difficult due to heavy qsb fron mainly south americans and euro and at times unworkable
Weve previously tried running the net in the high 26 mhz but sadly too many experiencing high swr readings so we experemented on 27.705 usb which seemed to work well but sadlytoo much off air interfence as being part of the ukfm block
To which we stood down n moved to 455
So heres where im at 
For a few hrs on a friday evening im going to try 27.655 usb which is in the low side of the ukfm block but far enough away from 555 and away from the ol ch 14 fm which a few are trying to resurect (good luck )
This is only for the summer months once the nights get darker earlier and get colder were be moving back to around 445 as think this could be a good freq to work once skippy season dies down
Hope you all understand and give us a try from friday 11th Aug 23 at 8 pm on 27.655 usb
Ps if still get off air interference etc will prob stand down during summer
Been runnin this  and previously the southern for cant remember how many years now and really enjoy im just trying to help others enjoy too
Many thanks
