Man. I was disappointed that I didn't hear a single RG exchange anywhere this morning.?

It wasn't until about 7PM that I realized it wasn't Saturday.?

Better too early than too late!

I usually try to email a reminder the morning of the event to everyone who has requested code groups for the current event.

See you Saturday, I hope. Thunderstorms may keep me off the air and off line. To anyone thinking of playing... better request a list of code groups early in case I am offline later.

I sat down at the radio at 7:45 this morning too. ?And then I thought I better check Drew's last email as there were no RG posts on the Sked page. ?Bingo.


 

Love honesty. Have done that myself!

I did turn on the radio at 0900EST to test what the band(s) might be active tomorrow. Wasn't too impressed at 15m or 40m but 20m showed promise. Hope to transmit all 25 code groups and get them verified. Need to somehow get a 2nd receiver online to assist in the SWLing code groups.

Oh, man. You scared me.?

I read slow, so it took me while to get to the second part.?

Vern,

It is very nice having a 2nd receiver (or sub rcvr or dual watch) for RG events. I often listen to some other operator while sending my own CQs, pausing to copy his traffic, or jump in myself to answer his CQ. It is loads of fun!

Unfortunately, my rx only loop antenna just died. I'm hoping it's just squirrels chewing through the cable again; hope to get out there in the morning before the event to replace it...
