A heads up for others who like me didn't know these existed.
I was on HS3 today and there was a bit of a pile up on 11 Meters - 27.555 a mod came in and told everyone it was the Calling frequency and you are supposed to then move once a contact is made, i hope this will save others making the same mistake. http://www.hamsphere.com/read.php?5,3112 Version: 11 May 2020 160 Meters (1.8-1.9 MHz): 1.801 - 1.805 Beacons 1.801 – 1.830 CW 1.801 – 1.895 PHONE 80 Meters (3.7-3.8 MHz): 3.701 – 3.705 Beacons 3.701 – 3.730 CW 3.701 – 3.795 PHONE 48 Meters (6.2-6.3 MHz): 6.205 – 6.295 Reserved for official use by HamSphere (No QSOs allowed) 40 Meters (7.0-7.1 MHz): 7.001 – 7.095 PHONE 30 Meters (10.1-10.2 MHz): 10.101-10.105 Beacons 10.101-10.195 RTTY 10.101-10.195 PSK 10.101-10.195 SSTV 10.101-10.195 CW 10.101-10.195 PHONE 20 Meters (14.2-14.3 MHz): 14.201 – 14.205 Beacons 14.201 – 14.295 PHONE 17 Meters (18.1-18.2 MHz): 18.101-18.105 Beacons 18.101-18.195 PHONE 15 Meters (21.3-21.4 MHz): 21.301-21.305 Beacons 21.301-21.395 PHONE 11 Meters (27.50-27.60 MHz): 27.501-27.505 Beacons 27.555 Calling frequency 27.501-27.595 PHONE 10 Meters (28.4-28.5 MHz): 28.401-28.405 Beacons 28.410-28.420 Bulletins 28.401-28.495 PHONE 6 Meters (50.1-50.2 MHz): 50.101-50.105 beacons 50.101-50.195 PHONE Note! Please be advised that operation from 90 kHz offset and up (such as 50.190) might produce distorted audio. Due to the Sphere sampling frequency of 192 kHz the following frequency offsets should be avoided: 90-96 kHz (Some audio sampling artifacts) 96 kHz (Dead lock = Sample rate / 2, will not produce any audio) 96-100 kHz (Out of band operation, audio will be distorted by bit quantization noise) 0-1 kHz (Near Local Oscillator Deadlock. Out of band operation, audio will be distorted by bit quantization noise) Tuning HamSphere outside the specs is not prohibited, but please observe the audio limitations.

Dear operators.
HamSphere is a shortwave simulation. We mimick Amateur Radio bands as well as the 11 meter band. The BIG difference between 11-meters and the Ham bands is the Calling frequency which is 27.555 Mhz Let me remind you of the 11-meter procedure: 1. Find a free frequency on the 11-meter band (not 27.555) 2. Call CQ on 27.555 and say your QSY frequency such as "CQ CQ CQ from 110HS101, QSY 27.540 or "CQ CQ CQ from 110HS101, listening on 27.540" 3. Now QSY quickly to your QSO frequency (27.540) and call "110HS101 standing by for any call" 4. Never establish a QSO on 27.555, if you are called on 27.555 after your CQ, suggest a QSY immediately to a free frequency within the band. 5. If you get no response, go back to 1 and repeat. The Amateur Radio bands such as 160, 80, 40, 20, 17, 15, 10, and 6 meters have no calling frequency. Hence you are supposed to call CQ on any frequency and consequently establish a QSO on the same frequency as you called.
