KR0U RE: WX2S 40m fox announcement for Feb. 25

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

And I'll be the other fox. I run 5W from the KX3 to a 43 ft vertical, backed up by a low dipole. I second what Steve says about operating practices, with two additions:

- Every time you send your call, listen before sending it again. I may be trying to reply to you, but you won't know that if you don't make use of your hound dog ears!

- If I ask for a partial call sign, stand by unless your call is a likely match for the partial.

Good luck to all hounds, and may old Sol be kind to us!

72,
Tim (KR0U)

Hi, all,
?
I¡¯ll be one of your two foxii on Tuesday night, along with Tim, KR0U, in Colorado. Look for me to be handing out pelts from Kingston, NJ, grid FN20qj, between 0200 and 0330Z and between 7030 and 7050 kHz. I¡¯ll be running a K3 tuned down to 5W into a 43-foot base-loaded vert. I will be posting dots to the Fritz map (http://www.k4oaq.com/fox) so you can check your QSO.
?
Some requests:
* Please enable QSK and your split-mode receiver (subreceiver) if you have those capabilities. That enables you to hear me and any other hounds near you who might QRM you.
* If you hear me call another hound, please QRX until the QSO is finished.
* If I¡¯m split, please don¡¯t bunch up, because I¡¯ll be listening outside the bunches.
* If I¡¯m simplex, please don¡¯t zero-beat me.
* You can check the Fritz map to see whether I've logged you. Don't be shy about asking for a repeat QSO if you thought I got you and I didn't.
If you do these things, there's a better chance that I'll be able to hand you a pelt before the propagation goes out or the hunt ends.
?
Good luck and happy hunting!
?
73/72, -Steve WX2S.
