Oh wait, tonight is the LAST 24 and it's a 2 hour deal. 10PM?

So, if it is a 2 hour deal, does that make it 48 or 12? I gottsa know. Seeing if it is 48, that means we need to be there Wednesday night and iffin it is 12 this would have occurred at 10 this morning. Just like on the movie "Raising Arizona", the bank robber tells the people to freeze and get down on the floor. A bank patron informs him, "That if he freezes, he can't get down on the floor. And if he gets down on the floor, he won't be freezing". So is it 12 or 48, I gottsa know. :stickpoke:

Name the place and time. :lol:

I'm afraid to look at my inverted vee. Maybe it will be an easy fix. But, I will be messing around on 20 and 10, maybe elsewhere...

I forgot how nicely the Gap Titan works on 10mhz and higher.

We had those yesterday. May have them again tomorrow.

Tonight I'm going to "get out of the shack" and "get some sun" as others have advised me to do. A little motorsickle ride is in order.

Just doesn't pay to hook the antennas up. Just as soon as I spin the PL-259's I have to disconnect again.

You were Q5 until "they" cut the propagation out from under us. As Charles said, you were bbbbBoomin in here.

I was chatting with a Myrtle Beach station for about 35 minutes before Charles said hey. We were S9+ to each other for most of that.

Ever play with soundcard DSP? http://www.barberdsp.com/csnd/csnd.htm

My MFJ 784B is OK, underwater sounding on SSB, kicks butt on CW/digital. A friend's BHI filter is better for voice.

I was looking for something like this months ago but the two good working programs I found all had a bit of echo.
