i am planning to do something not useful to anyone, let alone
me.............i plan to make a youtube video and post it on W7DRA. i
have paralleled my earphones and cut down the sound with three
attenuators (2 RF, 1 audio), so that i can use a hifi amp to make "a room
loud radio".
even though i worked about an hour in the RAC i worked no one, even when
i went up to 200 watts with my 211 amp. and there were stations within 5
kcs of my rock calling CQ but to no avail.
i hope stew perry will be different, i am not looking to make this
effort a Single Digit Contest Club entry

Hi,
I was hoping to hear the band suddenly become *open* at 1500Z but so far
there is only light duty "air noise". I don't know if my radio is
working or the band has not yet "opened". It occurred to me to maybe
look at the RBN but I am going in as "single op" so that is out.
Meanwhile I'm playing with my accordion and working on a power supply
for another ham.
73,
Bill KU8H
