Island...sked...tonight

[N8YX]

Anyone up for it?

[KC2UGV]

Name the mode/freq. Be after 8PM or so for me, and I'll try to make contact.

[N8YX]

As close as we are it'll have to be 75M...possibly 40.

Let's see if anyone a little further out jumps in.

[N9FE]

All i have is the 820s right now. Kinda limited, So give a heads up here and we'll GIT ER DONE !

[KJ3N]

As close as we are it'll have to be 75M...possibly 40.

If it's above 3800, count me out. :snicker:

No, but QRZ morons I live for. :snicker:

Seriously, I just can't bring myself to bother with anything on 75m that's above 3800. Too much idiocy and "noise" goes on up there.

It is the official Teabaggers opinion outlet.

[N9FE]

3.605 I don't care !!

[WØTKX]

I'll listen. Whimper.

[KC2UGV]

I'm on 3.905 calling CQ.

[KC2UGV]

3.910 now.

[N8YX]

Let's try again this morning.

20M, anyone?

Or 40?

[KG4CGC]

Antenna work over the next week. I can do better than my current antenna.
I have a plan that is more plan and less random! :rock:

[W7XF]

Someone is gonna have to email me these Island net frequencies and when!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KJ3N]

Too busy with a backlog of QSL cards.

[KJ3N]

OK, I'm about to meander down to the shack for about 90 minutes. Who's game?

[N8YX]

I'm here/there. Pick a freq.

[KJ3N]

I'm here/there. Pick a freq.
40m or 75m? My guess would be 75m. 40m is probably going LONG as I type this.

[N8YX]

3630?

[N8YX]

I'm there.

[N9FE]

Yep Recieving better than gettin. Good hearing everyone !

[N8YX]

I heard all of you FB. Was nice chatting with everyone. Steve ('EA) is a local riding/shooting buddy; lives roughly 6 miles to my northeast. He's an (in)frequent flier on The Island.

[KG4CGC]

Who wants to hit up 3.930.0 for a quick one?

[kb1jcy]

I have a new antenna up and want to get signal reports. Anybody up for a QSO on 75m or 40m?

[KG4CGC]

Still up?

[kb1jcy]

Still up?

I'm like Viagra, always up. What's your frequency, Kenneth?

[KG4CGC]

3.900.0 sounds clear

[WX7P]

3.900.0 sounds clear

You still there?

[KG4CGC]

I guess Doug is out like stout. :giggity:

[KG4CGC]

3.900.0 sounds clear

You still there?
I'll put out a call right now.

[WX7P]

3.900.0 sounds clear

somebody locally fired up on freq.

OK. Well .......
I heard my callsign out in the noise and that was all folks :(

[KG4CGC]

If that was you Doug, I could barley pull you in.

[N8YX]

I was kinda fit-shased last evening, having taken 'DSG out for margaritas (as our designated driver) then bringing the party home and picking up where she left off. Tonight will be better for radio. I think.

[KG4CGC]

Let's hope. Distances over 100 miles were not great to listen to. I could hear some of the big gun regulars and Doug made a good effort to pull me out of the noise. I could hear my call a couple of times but as far as communicating goes, it wasn't going to happen.

Earlier I contacted a local friend who is at about 22 miles in a straight line. He liked my audio and he was 20 over fine business. I must do antenna work this week. I think I'm dreading unmasting and remasting.

[WØTKX]

Tonight, maybe?

The storms in the pacific are snow/rain, maybe no lighting? East is clear.

We gots no spots, SF is going down... good for 75.

In other words, the stock Yaesu hand mic.

[N8YX]

Be interesting to see what that rig will do with the Heil attached...

[N9FE]

Taint hearin no lightning... Where are we going ???

That it does. Big T-storms in KS/NE...you might try checking 10M and see what kind of Sporadic E is setting up as a result.

[KJ3N]

Even with the ATT on, the noise is nearly s9.... :(

[N8YX]

It's getting worse here. I'm thinking no low-band radidio tonight.

Got a rig parked on 28.400 in case 10M starts up suddenly.

[KJ3N]

Even 20m is noisy....

[KJ3N]

Well, stick a fork in it.... it's done. Shutting down. No radio tonight. :(

[N9FE]

I shut it off at like 7:30 cst. The lightning was past 20 over. there calling for storms tonight too. Welcome to summer on da low bands.

[N8YX]

I shut it off at like 7:30 cst. The lightning was past 20 over. there calling for storms tonight too. Welcome to summer on da low bands.
Start thinking in terms of sporadic E.

I keep receivers on 28.337 (our local hangout), 28.400, 29.000 (AM) and scan 29.600-29.680 (FM) with a fourth.

A CB rig in the shack also monitors 27.385 LSB - that frequency is a good general-purpose propagation indicator.

[N9FE]

If 10 pops Fred give a heads up here. I'll switch to the scatter stick and give er a whirl.

[KG4CGC]

3.838.0

[N8YX]

Will be QRV at 9 or thereabouts.

[WV6Z]

I am here and listening to splatter from 3.840 and static crashes already.

[KG4CGC]

I am here and listening to splatter from 3.840 and static crashes already.
Me too.
Warming up the rig but not yet with the heaters.

[N9FE]

The genious on 3636 is ALL audio and no signal.

[WV6Z]

I still have you in there Mike.....

[W7XF]

On 3840 listening for u guys!

[kb2crk]

i wish i could join everyone on the air but this four letter word (work) is in the damn way

[WV6Z]

Sorry to hear that Paul..... big bunch in there already......

[KG4CGC]

Well I just about have all the static crashes tuned out. :)

[WV6Z]

Doing a fine job in from Indy I think you are in tonight Kev via mobile!

[WØTKX]

Waiting for the sun to set... hearing some of ya.

[W7XF]

I'm hearing most of you guys... But y'all are quick keying
and I can't get a word in edgewise!!!!

[KG4CGC]

I'm hearing most of you guys... But y'all are quick keying
and I can't get a word in edgewise!!!!
Keep trying. You're just at the noise level.

[WØTKX]

Imagine that. :muhahaha:

I'm checking into a local 2M SSB net for a bit. Good group. http://www.rmvhf.org/

But I'll try HF some more in a bit, if anyone is about... :stickpoke:

[KG4CGC]

[N8YX]

Was fun working everyone tonight - got us a new member who happened by the net and jumped in.

Welcome Mike, MN8D- from near my homestead in WV.

[KG4CGC]

I'm thinking it's NM8D

[WV6Z]

Was great fun...... I will be looking forward to the next 'Net'.

[N8YX]

I'm thinking it's NM8D
I'm thinking you're right. Fat fingers ...:doh:

[N8YX]

Anyone up for some radio this evening? Static crashes on the low bands shouldn't be an issue.

[WØTKX]

I'm gonna be around. Gave up last night.

[KG4CGC]

What's open? I haven't even turned on a radio since Wednesday.

[N8YX]

Antennas and the radios were unplugged. Supercells with VIP5 cores roaming the area tend to make one do that.

[N8YX]

What's open? I haven't even turned on a radio since Wednesday.
40 and 75 pretty much always are.

[KG4CGC]

Yep. Been unplugged since Thursday.

[N8YX]

FWIW, I'm going to try a different radio/antenna setup this evening. Will be using a '940 but it's the second of two in the shack. Antenna is a 6BTV.

[N8YX]

Someone pick a frequency...

[WØTKX]

7.280 is clear, here. Sun is still up for another hour. You may be getting SW howls there?

[KG4CGC]

OK.
Give me a few minutes to warm up the valves. :D

[N8YX]

7278 is better. Give me a yell there...

[KC2UGV]

7278 is better. Give me a yell there...

7278 sounds like a SW broadcaster...

[WØTKX]

I can tell it's you Fred, that's about it. Slop from 7.276.

It's still early.

[N8YX]

7278 sounds like a SW broadcaster...
Yep - zero-beat with the SWBC is 7280. I heard Dave about S-8 but it's pretty congested.

[KC2UGV]

You guys on 7280 or 7275?

[N8YX]

You guys on 7280 or 7275?
'80 is rife with BCI and '75 is some other group. We're trying to find a clear spot. If you got something in your area which looks open, post it here and let us know.

[KC2UGV]

7.225 sounds quiet.

[WØTKX]

Yea, I switched to the Gap Titan, and you were a little better.

I'm a bit distracted with the Chinese takeout, just delivered.

[KG4CGC]

I'm 7.225

[WØTKX]

Is that you? Still on 7.225, I hollered a few times. Not strong enuf.

75 is probably getting good for you folks, so maybe it's time to migrate there.

[KG4CGC]

hold up a minute
let's keep trying
I can hear you

[WØTKX]

'sallright, I got two VFO's

[N8YX]

Let's try 75 - the BCI is getting bad here.

[KC2UGV]

75m, I'm out. No doublet yet for 80 (ran out of wire).

[KG4CGC]

Hey, let me try the Corsair right quick. See if you hear a little better or not.

[WØTKX]

Otay

[KC2UGV]

I don't think you guys can hear me :(

[KG4CGC]

Working Dave finebusiness right now on 7.225.0

[WØTKX]

Well, Charles and are are managing it... 7.225. We can actually hear each other mostly.

[KC2UGV]

Yeah, I can hear you guys fb, but I don't think I am getting out to you all.

[WØTKX]

Corsair sounds stronger.

[KG4CGC]

OK, we're going to 75 :)

[N8YX]

OK, we're going to 75 :)
Where?

[KG4CGC]

Fantastic. I'll start with the Corsair on 75 then go to the 901 but when I make the switch it might take a couple of minutes. Pe batient.

[KG4CGC]

3.839.0 clear

[WØTKX]

Kinda fun loading that tube final, isn't it?

I'm listening to the gang on 3913.

[N8YX]

I'm hearing a tuner-upper there and was just calling both of you.

[KG4CGC]

Kinda fun loading that tube final, isn't it?

I'm listening to the gang on 3913.
It's work! Gotta do it!

[KG4CGC]

Fred, I was able to pull out your callsign and that was it.

[WØTKX]

Youse guys are on 3839, but not that loud yet. Band sounds like it's gonna be decent tonight.

[KG4CGC]

Our SOTB friends have started up 3.838.5

3.842.0 sound clear right now

[KG4CGC]

I'm on 3.842.0 if anyone is listening.

[KC2UGV]

Screw you guys and your long ass wires :) I dropped down to 40M psk :)

[KG4CGC]

QRM'er guy got bored and left. LOL! It was, entertaining!

[KG4CGC]

Well between your instructions and the book and repeated practice, I got 110w out on tune up. Finebusiness.

[N8YX]

Well between your instructions and the book and repeated practice, I got 110w out on tune up. Finebusiness.
Excellent! :agree:

I have to pull the '940 apart this morning - identified the slope-tune problem area via the service manual and it's time to go fishing...

[WØTKX]

I took my pills and fell asleep. :roll:

[KJ3N]

No way I was making it last night. Too beat from work and I kept waking up all night on Friday. Maybe tonight. :dunno:

[KG4CGC]

75 did start to quite down. The noise was getting to be too much to listen through.

[W7XF]

OK where and when on 75 or 80 tonight???

[N8YX]

Maybe the same place (3839 or thereabouts)?

I have to pull two of my wire antennas down tomorrow afternoon pending some tree removal, so I'm stuck with using the 6BTV on HF.

[W7XF]

OK. I'm mobile in foh-land tonight (VA to NC). Will listen out on 3839ish.

[WØTKX]

Solar wind is dropping, and the weather map looks promising. :yes:

Oh, and lulzy stupidity on 14.272, not .275 :irked: :nuts:

[N9FE]

75 is dead quiet. Where we going.. 3939 ???

[N8YX]

75 is dead quiet. Where we going.. 3939 ???
3839?

[N9FE]

Sorry Fred.. 3.839.

[N9FE]

3838. Shes warmin up.

[rot]

3838. Shes warmin up.

I heard ye and called back...got w7fx on da freq.

[N9FE]

I can hear you guys .. Just.. Give er a little bit. It should pick up as it gets darker.

[WØTKX]

I'll be back on the radio in about 45 minutes...

[KG4CGC]

I guess about 9:10 I tried listening. Looked around. Nada.
Gotta do dog walkery. Be back.

[N9FE]

I guess about 9:10 I tried listening. Looked around. Nada.

Marconi Net on 3842 attracting its share of antagonists...

A good bit of that is Fred bringing it upon himself. :bfd:

[KG4CGC]

Dog is walked. Items for the mail are packaged.
Who is net control on the Marconi Net?
Is there another Fred?

[WØTKX]

Hello. I'm at my radio dial. Lotsa phone calls.

[KG4CGC]

Where you at now, Dave?

[W7XF]

Solar wind is dropping, and the weather map looks promising. :yes:

Oh, and lulzy stupidity on 14.272, not .275 :irked: :nuts:

Yeah.. 14.272 is KKKarol's new hangout, since K1MAN took over 14.275. Guess the Canadian frootcake got his antenna issues fixed so he can use his "toob with handles" again:yuck::wall::nuts::vomit:

[w3bny]

272? will check that out now.

[KG4CGC]

OK, we gonna do this tonight? Are we going to try 40 or 80 first?

[WØTKX]

40 mebbe? 7.225 is set on the other VFO.

But I'm hanging out at 28.420 too.

[KG4CGC]

Last time I checked 10 was about an hour ago and Florida has had the path to here all afternoon. Earlier I heard a station out of Paraguay.

[N8YX]

I'll park a rig on 7225 and another on 3838...maybe put a receiver on 28.420.

Lot of Sporadic E as a result of the big storms going through OK and KS now.

[KG4CGC]

Not hearing any lightning ... yet. :(

[WØTKX]

Oh, I hear it on 40 and 80.

[N8YX]

Norman, OK just got hurt:

http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=TLX&product=N0V&overlay=11101111&loop=yes

[W5RB]

Lookin' tough south of Ardmore , too . Appears to have a hail core in it .

[N8YX]

Lookin' tough south of Ardmore , too . Appears to have a hail core in it .
Gate-to-gate velocity of that hook east of OKC is unbelievable at the moment. Another cell roughly 60 miles right behind it and on the same track just got TOR-warned.

[N9FE]

They were saying even up here that down south could get slammed tonight.

[WØTKX]

Yea, it's gonna be noisy till those storms die out... if they do.

Skype anyone? IRLP? :dunno:

[KG4CGC]

7.223

[N8YX]

7.223
I'm there...

[KG4CGC]

You must not hear me.

[N8YX]

I'm using the 6BTV - low radiation angle.

[KG4CGC]

OK, I'm QSY to 3.841

[N9FE]

Lightning is damn near 20 over S9 here.. Taint happenin

[N8YX]

Heard you folks - but I'm a member of the pi$$-weak hotel this evening. The 'BTV is showing an SWR of 4:1 where it's usually resonant. I suspect that my temporarily dropping and rerouting the inverted vee that's nearby it changed the Hustler's low-band tuning a bit.

[W5RB]

I used to tune my AV18 for either the CW or phone portion of 80 , depending on where I parked the car .

[KG4CGC]

http://www.livestream.com/w4djw

[WØTKX]

10 is popping... hearing 4 landers GA, SC...

28.420 and can move...

[KG4CGC]

OK, I'm there like bear :p

[W5RB]

listening , no dice yet .

[WØTKX]

Seems to be dying off, rats... weak 8 lander , arguing who has the freq with someone I can't hear. Lulzy.

[KG4CGC]

cwap

[W5RB]

DX ( Peru ?) seems to have .420 locked up , heard a Texan pretty well a few minutes ago . Try another 10m freq ?

[KG4CGC]

Not hearing Peru or Texan.

[KG4CGC]

OK, you guys can't hear me on80 or 40, I can't hear anything on 10.
What if we split the difference and give 20 a shot. It could happen.

[NA4BH]

20 is very open right now.

[W5RB]

I only have 10 here. Band's beginning to fill up , strong sigs on .430 and .405 . I'll try 28.390 at 10 , if nobody's there , I'll catch y'all next time .

[WØTKX]

14.313?

[KG4CGC]

14.313

[KG4CGC]

Hey Dave, Tom said you were calling but we could barely hear a thing.

[WØTKX]

Tom and I were looking for ya... we had a bit of a QSO.

Weird propagation. No Spots, BTW.

[KG4CGC]

I couldn't hear Tom either.

[WØTKX]

Wow. Weirdness. I'm at 3922 now. Sounds very crunchy.

[NA4BH]

Well, VK - RU amongst others are coming in tonight. Somebody run over to Europe real quick.

[WV6Z]

Great to chat with you on the rather odd band opening on 20m for this time of night Dave, I am on 3.932 now.

[WØTKX]

20 meters? 40? For the DX?

I'm bouncing between 3932 & 3922... no worky.

[WV6Z]

Will check in on the Freewheelers on 3.916 right quick.

[NA4BH]

VK - RU are on 20. A dood is working ZL2GRZ on 14.214.

[WØTKX]

Well looky at the current auroral oval... leftovers from that strong solar wind a few days ago?

I get a kick out of weird propagation.

2754

[NA4BH]

Looks like they need cataract surgery. :muhahaha:

[WV6Z]

Okay I will park on 3.932 for a bit as I have checked in on The Freewheelers and 3.922 is being eaten alive by big sigs on 3.919...... yeah, okay, I could use some better flitering tonight, but there ya go.....

[NA4BH]

Well looky at the current auroral oval... leftovers from that strong solar wind a few days ago?

2754

So, how do you read that thing???

[KG4CGC]

I'm there 3.932

[WØTKX]

I'm on the downslide before pain pills again... I might check things out again in 3 hours.

[KG4CGC]

3.839.0

[KG4CGC]

Tom and I are there!

[ki4itv]

Sound good here Tom...can't hear Charles though??? I thought you guys were fairly close in location??

Wish I could jump in, but alas, I'm broke down at the moment. Ah! there you are Charles.
I gotta get this crap fixed... Good to hear some voices for a change.

[N8YX]

Sorry I missed it...wasn't feeling well and took a nap of sorts. Woke up around 11...:-|

[N9FE]

I shut the thing off early to fred. We got like perpetual storms and rain here. We need the rain so bad i can't bitch.

[KG4CGC]

I game for this evening if you guys want to give it a shot. Tried another mic with an electret element to get a little more punch in the voice range.
I may look for another element this afternoon specifically for vocals and change it out. This Heil I tried Monday seemed to lack what the 901 wanted although it is perfect for the TT. I think the 901 really needs the impedance to be a perfect match, hence the 901 hand mic is 500 ohms and the Heil GM5 is 1000 ohms. Although I could have added a resistor and a switch to the mic connector, I'm not trying that yet.

I believe that years ago, I changed out the element in the mic I tried last night to a full range type. I just want to give the radio what it needs but I don't want to sound tinny. The listener on the other end needs something that will not bring about listening fatigue. It is a careful balance that I wish to achieve.

[WØTKX]

I'd love to help, but so far you have not been strong enough to tell.

Isn't the mic impedance on that FT-901 more like 50K ohms? No I just checked.

Shure 444D in the low impedance? I like old Turners and Electro Voice.

But I use a Heil GM5 a lot.

[KG4CGC]

But I use a Heil GM5 a lot.
Well you did hear that one and the TT on 40 or 20 the other night. I think it was 40? That's a prime set up and I'm just going to leave it alone.

[WØTKX]

Yes, that sounded very good.

[KG4CGC]

Will be listening in tonight between 3.232 and 3.839 for activity amongst the static crashes and discussions of prostates, colostomy bags and the like.

Nah , that rain was made with Gulf moisture . The smell was a bit of oil and tar lofted with the water.

[KG4CGC]

There's a strong tuner uper, angry tuner uper I tell ya but voice was below the threshold.

[WØTKX]

Well, I'll try... conditions are not great, some local thunder.

And it will be at least an hour before 75m will go longer.

[N8YX]

I switched to the vertical - have a problem with RFI and my phone.

Now let me switch to the '901 and its inverted vee.

[KG4CGC]

Fred, I heard you in peeps. Now 3.835 and 3.839 is coming in and out.

[NA4BH]

EDIT TO ADD: They have a real nice QSL card.

[KG4CGC]

Oil spills and politics on 3.840
Trying listen for callsigns. Funny group!

[N8YX]

We're both in the shack tonight.

I'll even put 'DSG on 40 and/or 75M (under control operation) if we get a rag-chew going.

She needs a 'nudge' into picking up the General study guide which I bought for her...two whole years ago at Dayton. :wall:

Promises of her very own K3, Sienna or (whatever_rig_she_wants) aren't very tempting.

His and hers will get trunks, FTM-10SR dualbanders on the right side of the bars (electronics mounted under the trunk rack), a JMCB2003 on the left side and a Zumo 550 or similar in a steering stem mount.

'DSG can ride a ZX-10R pretty aggresively, and Connie for Connie I don't think there are too many riders who can give her a good run for the money.

Forking SWEET bike!!!!!!!!!!!!

[N8YX]

Forking SWEET bike!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nicki actually likes your DL1000 but says the seat is a bit too high to flat-foot easily. Perhaps the DL650 seat can be interchanged?

[W7XF]

If I'm not mistaken, the DL650 and DL1000 share the same frame and most of the accessories. So, swapping the seats won't really help.

It was probably Dave, G0EVY. That's about where he hangs out.

Normal nightly program Fred. Just like 3,913. the jammers will record you saying your call, Add F#ck you to it with there little asshole audio progam on there computer, Then play it over and over for ten years now. Oh the best is they'll play you on bands and nets you've never been on or checked into. Quite sick these idiots are. As stated TEN years of this Bullsheit !

[KG4CGC]

10 was peeping and pooping earlier and 14.264 is a fading pile up.

[KG4CGC]

Anyone want to try 80 or 40 at 9pm EDT?
I can PM Tom, WV6Z.

[KG4CGC]

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

[WØTKX]
