Maggie:
I heard you just fine here in Amarillo this evening. This was the
first time I checked in also. I just finished a home brew 1/4 10m
vertical this afternoon. The tuner in my 1000mp(running about 10 watts
out) tuned it just fine on 40m. Tom was S9+10 but he said I had some
QSB on my signal.
Tom, what type of antenna are you running? You were very loud. I
wonder if 40m was going long early, hence my weak signal.

Working on the home antenna farm in anticipation of building a K2 this
fall. I normally run a TS-480 via remote control.

...although I really had oodles of artificial help on a very noisy
night. Ended up using my FT-847 at 50 watts CW (a real light-dimmer
around here) and KAMPlus on RX to decode the other traffic I could
hear--because my CW RX skills just really aren't net quality as yet.
Apparently I send OK because Tom N0SS checked me in (after I
remebered to retune my recently repaired G5RV antenna system from 75m
to 40m :-) ) with me sending using one side of my Bencher paddle as a
straight key...the keyer still tends to run away on me a bit when my
attention wanders momentarily.
(I *am* practicing my CW RX and I don't use the KAM for CW RX--except
here where I think my inability to copy faster would interfere with
net operations.)
So it was nice to finally manage to be heard on ECN, even if it
wasn't with the K2. Earlier today with the K2, I had a long phone QSO
with a local ham after signing into our local club's 75m phone net
(3.993 MHz @ 10:20am et Sundays) and he was quite impressed with the
K2 (although apparently at max power he could hear some key chirp
when I tested my CW signal). On the club's "Ten-on-ten" net (28.383
MHz 10:00am et Sundays) I could barely copy signals that the FT-847
heard easily, so obviously I still have some work to do on the 10m or
10m-12m sections of the radio; on 20m and lower this K2 clearly way
outperforms the FT-847 on RX using the same antenna system.
