hey, Jim... I scrambled hard and fast, trying to get the Viking II connected to an antenna when I heard you testing earlier... and it couldn't have been a full 3 mins later, and I was calling you... as did someone else, but you were no where to be heard. BJ/WB5PKD heard me, though... and he and I carried on till Perry/W5KGZ broke in. Then it was Ed/KQ5F(who I never did copy well enough - no/low audio and lots of hum), Jon/AD5HR at his new QTH in Rural Guadalupe County, Sammy/W5DPP then Wayne/W5DWP, Chad/K5BST... there's been activity on the band all day long. Right before 3pm (right before you were testing) there was KC9VF, W5JO and KA5RHK and I think I detected the remnants of others in that QSO up in Oklahoma and NorthEast Texas. (that's roughly the same distance as it is from New York City to Central North Carolina). Good to hear all that boat-anchor (and some rice-box) activity going on. Reply by Jim, JKO: Hi Geoff, I had heavy QRN today with a spur on 3882 that is S9+ and about 15 Kc wide. I couldn't hear much, and then I scanned my memory presets where I heard Steve KL7OF from Tum Tum calling CQ on 14286. I worked him, but conditions were marginal. Then Miss Olivia put me in charge of dinner. That was that. Sorry I missed you, Jim JKO -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
