Hi, I'm hoping a new 600 meter allocation will give some nice "regional" rag chew QSOs. My receiver is already working and now looking at designs and schemes for transmitting a signal when the time c
Hi Jim, I was astonished when I heard them on 160 meters. My antenna is NOT the very best. I have occasionally heard some DX stations on 160. I have suspected that one reason I don't hear a lot of DX
--snipped - see original post for all of the text-- Hi Mike, I took a couple sips of coffee and opened the pressure relief valve for a few minutes - playing with unsavory adjectives in my head (evil

Did hear Luis IV3PRK at 0333 UTC. with a good signal. Was able to work him at 0344 UTC after getting the old linear switched and tuned for the band. Better days are coming for QRN sensitive ears. 73

Carl KM1H Hi Carl, With my "postage stamp" lot my lil wire is no world beater but I will see what I can do about that. Somewhere around here I have a mic already wired for the TX that will do phone (
