I'm gonna be really miffed if I'm not around when the solar cycle moves in our favor and bands finally open up. But, like they say, death is Nature's way of telling you to slow down. I just thought it would take longer to get old. Love this T-shirt.

I can barely complete a contact with W1LY. But then again 1,471.5 miles is quite a distance for QRP with lots of lightning crashes. He fades in and out and gets more audible later in the evening. Yea, I can hear him fine now, but I can't hear anybody else. Well, I got the impression he is an expert QRP operator. And should have a long list to post tonight. Any chance anyone heard my signal, and could comment on the audio quality? I just implemented the Peter Parker improved audio hack. It sounds just a bit better at this end. By the way I am putting 24 volts into the final, and In-Vee 18 feet at apex. |
