A KJ4 station, go figure. The only thing he is missing is breaker/breaker.

Well the band just went tu on this end.

Well, I had Eddie K7SGJ nice and strong for a while then he disappeared too. Oh well, I guess the propagation gods are not smiling on us tonight. Maybe we've been remiss in our animal sacrifices. Someone go kill a cow and put it up on a big rock or something.

OK, I'm just monitoring now. The YL needs nourishment.

Well it was worth a try. I could barely hear you because of QRN. Then a rather loud static crash and you were gone. Therefor a solid 599+. Oh, never mind, that's only for contests. Maybe we can give it another try tomorrow a little earlier.

I was considering upgrading... Having too much fun on VHF+ right now :) Funny, how once you delve into a particular area of ham radio, it seems like there's an entire world you didn't know about before :D

Man, I love this hobby. Seriously.

PS Kelli, I know I still owe you a power supply and fan dipole.

You doing VHF DX stuff? I'm really interested in that but I don't have an all-mode VHF radio. It's on the short list but I think it's more important to upgrade my antenna systems first.

Nah, nothing that grand yet :) Delving into VHF/UHF/SHF packet. It's a huge world out there I'm learning about. And, I thought I had networking stuff downpat :lol:

VHF DX'ing is my next one, trying to set up the best, reliable paths between point A and point B.

If I upgrade, you have to :p
