[W5IEI]

I'm thinking we should try 40 meters tonight.
Any takers?

Sounds good to me.

I have a '940 apart on the bench for mods at the moment - if I get the thing finished I'll use it. Else I'll try the FT-901.

I would like to try and get some reports on my FT-107 audio if you guy's put this together. My 897 is on the fritz right now. :(
7PM central I presume?

[WØTKX]

I may be crashed already, as I go back to work at 4AM "your time".

[ki4itv]

Just trying to get this old neglected rig going...must have a relay sticking, it's slow switching back to receive after transmitting.
Ack! Both my Yaesu's are having problems!

[WØTKX]

I just heard (weakly) W5IEI, and I hollered back with SSB then CW. No contact.

[W5IEI]

Noise floor is at S9 here. :(

[ki4itv]

The SW stations were supposed to clear out below 7200.
Supposed to...I still hear a few on occasion.

[WØTKX]

I'm barefoot for now, and there is plenty o' splatter from the BC station at 7250.

[w3bny]

[WØTKX]

I've switched to listening to 75, but I'm flexible.
And yes, I know you'll take it that the worst way possible.

Heh.

Been waitin' to say "knobs" on .145. :snicker: :rofl:

[w3bny]

gurr..who is where!

Bunneh on 5.36650 Who is on air.

[WØTKX]

Well, our latest local Hamster is on the air now on the .145. His name is Harrison, and he's 10. KD0KNE I think it is. Nice kid, he's asking neat questions. I may have to say howdy.

So maybe we should wait about the knobs. :D Simplex or SSB? I'm running the IC-251 so I'm kinda QRP now, we yakked when I had the FT-857 in the house instead of the car.

I'd need to pull the FT-857 from the car, or hook up the Pegasus to get on 60m Bunneh. Sorry I'm not setup, but that's a band I enjoy from time to time. Need to get the station changes finished, but I've been skiing and motorcycling, for an excuse!

[w3bny]

Sorry, distracted with a phone call. I have to work in about 6 hours, need to sleep.

But we will try... and sorry, I'm a lowly General, Suh!
CW or digital would sure help with bad S/N ratios.
