Good deal, Bob - A number of AMers have been testing the band over recent weeks in preparation for the BC exodus as you know. My hope is that folks don't fall into the same rut of 'listening' that they did after the band expansion, with no one bothering to call CQ. That approach, along with getting locked to one particular frequency, promises results akin to the mess around 7290.
I've got some serious antenna work to do here in the next 2-3 weeks(picked up much of the stuff at Timonium), but am hoping to get the 40m dipole slung up temporarily later today and lashed to the 32V-2 if the rain stops. Won't be much of a signal, but 40 tends to be more forgiving of that. As an aside, was reading through some old emails printed out back in the mid-late 90s that surfaced when the Johnson Kilowatt desk was cleaned out recently. Found one from you in which you described obtaining your SX-115 that had been used as a mouse house, the Li'l Lulu, and other items of interested. Talk about a time capsule! Hope to work you soon on your new 'Glob Queen'. I've always liked that transmitter. ~ Todd, KA1KAQ/4 > I've advocated to Larry that we continue the 40 meter session after the > CCA AM nights, maybe just as a roundtable or callling frequency, to your > point, rather than as a formal net.

Sounds like a whole new band. ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: [email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
