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 in the shack at the moment. You folks wanna play on 75 this evening?

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.
I'll have access to a multiband rig tonight , after the VE session ends around 7:30 Central . 80 ? 40 ?

Inverted Vee is fixed, anyway...

Not me. T-storms all around. Static crashes are 15-25 over s9.

And ..... the tunder rolz in and my leetle scardy cat has to curl up beside her daddy.
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.
Storm storms. We need the rain so flippin bad the buffalo are coughing dust.

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.
Islander Vermin broke the band. :neener:

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.

I used a DOS program for a while. I just get used to the lightning, and use Brain DSP.
