I did hear K1WHS trying to tailgate WZ1V; however, WA3NUF called over him with a much stronger signal from less than half the distance. THEN I was able to work Dave rather easily. There are other "fe
Hey Dave, What is the app which puts seconds back on a Win 11 clock? Both DX Summit (on-line) and AMSAT's SatPC32 (local on your computer) both display seconds. However, both require your computer's
going up the tower. There's probably more loss in the pigtails and antenna selector switches in the shack and at the top of the tower. I'm sure that the rx preamp at the antenna helps a lot. I attem
I had detected that the QSB was very slow to the NE and also very deep. Almose due south, K3SK pretty much lost me for a while when I normally have an armchair copy signal there. K1TEO is always loud
Even though I was in the ARRL 160m contest, I thought I was on 222MHz! Worked K8RYU and K1ZK in succession, then WA1T a little later - hi. Several other callsigns looked familiar from playing on VHF.
Yep, last evening's condx were pretty awful to the NE from here. However, K9MRI to the West and N1GC to the Southwest were about normal or even better. When I first tried to copy K1WHS off the moon,
(FN42) if we'd have kept trying since my signal came up out of the noise for Dave shortly thereafter. Anyway condx to the NE were down with some very deep qsb. However, K9MRI was better than usual.
My volleyball group moved games to Tuesday evening. So unless there aren't enough players or we can't get the gym, I won't be able to get on until after around 9:15 PM local. Sorry about that. WA3EOQ
Wow. 12 Stations tonight; all but W1XR and K8RYU were >200 miles. Had a nice pile-up after working K1WHS (the dx winner at ~500 miles) including WA3NUF, K1TEO, WZ1V and WW2Y. Much better condx to the
Worked nine stations last evening even with going QRT at 8PM. Easily heard WB3IGR's ssb but couldn't get his attention thru Terry's 1.5kW and the pileup that created. Also heard WX3K (callsign?) on s
Per Dave's (K1WHS) observations, condx were excellent between us. Therefore, I figured that this would be a good night to try a qso with Paul (W1GHZ). After several 30 second sequences, we managed to
I figure FM09jo qualifies for being in the Boonies; especially running SOLP and, recently, Analog only. Making a lot of contacts was made even harder this year since my 6m station experienced a feedl
Is there a prize for working zero callsigns with a 2 in them? Mine were 1s, 3s and an 8. A few of my regular contacts weren't on, but they weren't 2s either. Seven qsos for the evening (only a half h
"Radio Auroras" by Charlie Newton, G2FKZ published by the RSGB way back in 1991 has a lot of the answers. IIRC from reading this book many years ago, visual and radio auroras are not connected, i.e.,
Wow. Don and Paul make me feel ancient - hi. I came on the weak-signal VHF scene in 1965 as a Novice with a Heathkit Twoer. Since there were no repeaters then, I started contacting local DNR personne
