Calling West Coast BITX operators


 

Hi All,

Just curious, how many West Coast BITX operators are on this list? Anywhere on the left side of the country. If you don't mind, sound off with your state and town. I'll compile a list from the responses. I have three plus myself that I know personally:

WB0NPM - Escondido CA
KE7RTV - Sparks, NV
W7LTG - Spanish Springs, NV
KK6RPX, Albion CA

Thanks!

Jonathan - KK6RPX


Chris Coel
 

N7CCX - cn85mm (Portland metro area) Oregon


 

KI6SSI - El Dorado Hills, CA near Sacramento


 

K7SWF. Lake Havasu, AZ

Hi

Simon, VE7SXS, in Terrace, BC, Canada. I am very close to the bottom of the Alaska panhandle.

Simon,

What a boob I am! Of course Canada too. Mexico too while we are at it. So I'll change that to province/state and town. Thanks for replying.

Rest of the west coasters, keep 'em coming! We have 10 on the list so far.

Looks like we have 17 stations on the left side of the continent so far:
WV7H, Enoch Utah
K7WXW, Portland, OR
VE7SXS, in Terrace, BC
K7SWF. Lake Havasu, AZ
KI6SSI - El Dorado Hills, CA
N7CCX - Portland metro area, Oregon
WB0NPM - Escondido CA
KE7RTV - Sparks, NV
W7LTG - Spanish Springs, NV
KK6RPX, Albion CA
KF7RSF, Bandon, Oregon
KI7KLT, Camas, WA
KK6WCG - Folsom, CA
W1JDS - Sunnyvale, CA?? 
KA7GPP, ?Arlington, WA
KK7ZD, Bothell, WA 
N7PXY, Federal Way, WA 

Makes me wonder the about the best way for us to connect. While chasing DX stations is fun, the odds are that the stations on this list could make contact fairly often. So, lets gather some opinions and ideas. Every other week QSO party? What time of day do you find 40 works best for west coast comms? Perhaps a daytime QSO party one week and an evening party the next? A WAWC (worked all west coast) net?

Also, there is a net in the AM called the Early Bird net and we have at least 4 BITX operators there every morning. 8AM, 7.186. Feel free to check in, bitx or QRO. In the afternoon a few of us check 7.812 between 1-3 in the afternoon. No schedule, just park it there and a make a few calls and see if anyone is around.

Thanks to all who responded and keep 'em coming. I'd love to be connecting regularly with other BITX operators as anyone who likes to tinker with a BITX is my kinda ham!

Probably not a good idea!

Hi Daniel, cool to have a bitx neighbor!

I'll be listening on 7.182. We should all try and get on the noon time net as well because its easy :) starts around 11 AM on 7.2835. State your qrp bitx. So far I've had 100% success checking in.

Great idea. I am a regular check in there too.? Early check ins actually start at 10AM. And there are many relay stations so getting in is easy.
