Hi Brian: Interesting to read your post. I recently moved to Casper, WY and find myself almost alone. The only regular activity up here is the Colorado morning group. I moved here from Belton, TX and there you could find activity morning, noon and night.
Tell Woody to point his beam up this way, and if there are others who are in this area, listen for me. I just got the Globe King 500 back on line. Interesting here this summer, there are days when I can tune the entire 40 meter band and not hear a signal between about 9 AM and 4 PM except for maybe a couple of skeds. Sure am lonely the SX 28 will be waiting. Jim de W5JPW I got on 7290 this morning and called CQ with about 20 watts from an Icom 746. Lots of QRN came back the first few times. K4CR, Woody came back with a massive signal from near Punta Gorda, FL Woody reports that there used to be more daytime activity in Florida on 40m AM, so perhaps it will be up to the two of us to revive things! he gets on 40m and 75m at night reporting plenty of contacts, but that he is usually the only one from Florida on the air. Pair of 810 finals running 350 Watts, modulated by a pair of 810s to 300 feet of co-ax cable. to a 4 element wire beam on Four 50 foot towers, aimed toward the east coast. Wow! What a nice array! Of course, he's booming in here at about 25 dB over S9 on a relatively stingy s- meter, hi hi! I hope we can get more AM ops on the air in Florida! Daytime condx on 7 MHz can be very fine out to a few hundred miles. Anyone else out there able to join the fun? 73 de AF4K in Central FL 75S1 receiver --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML or had an attachment.
