Hello there and welcome.Try 27.555 or channel 12 on the high band if you dont have frequency display. Best of luck and 73's. Gerry.

Hi and welcome to the site emoticon

As has been said 27555 USB or 52 (12 high) is the international calling frequency for 11m DX. But we're in a low point of the solar cycle which, means there are few conditions atm, and the band is quiet. Its always worth a shout and keep listening in, as theres DX on and off during the winter. emoticon

You could do some researcg into how this all works over the internet, type in cycle 24 into Google emoticon
