I know for a fact that the telco drop wire does not appeal to chewers, I put down a BOG and in one days time it was in 4 pieces, due to mongoose activity, yes one of the fine imported species in Hawa
Perhaps they are gone now, but was hearing them daily with up to 599 signals on top band and 80 meters, worked both YC0LOW/8 and YB8Y. Not many calling them on top band, just a few JAs that I could h

Good news Tree, I heard you calling cq this morning just after 1500Z, and VE7CA was also down a couple. I had just gotten up (5AM here) and the amp was not warmed up. I copied SV3RF the other evening
I uploaded logs several days ago and they have not been processed as yet, Saw someplace that processing was taking a week or more. Seems punching them in by hand would be as efficient as the ARRL com
After watching and drooling over the reports of the past few days where the mainland is working DX like 20 meters, the propagation gods have moved to the Pacific. Today I arose and hit the button at
As I mentioned the other day great conditions moved to KH6, well they continue, both sunset and sunrise. Even worked a new one last nite, GJ4CBQ, east coasters may laugh at that but its a tough one f
I have been watching this thread with interest, I am preparing to put up a receive array and it will have to be some distance from the shack. Is there a brand of RG-6 that someone has tried that is r

Wonder what type of urine you use out here where there are no predators like that the deer have ever seen. The deer come through here by the hundreds at a time, Axis deer that have been introduced he
Very nice signals from S21 today on topband, peaking 579 here an hour before sunrise, but alas they have bad receive conditions it appears. Heard many calling from EU/Asia and they did not answer. Ba
