This weekend...

[N2CHX]

Name your time, place and mode... I've got a vertical that performs well on 40-10 meters, a dipole that'll work on 80-20 and a radio capable of PSK or phone.

How about now?

20 or 40? Not by a radio, but can be. Let me know what's open

I am working until about 11:15. After that... What mode?

phonage

phonage

OK cool.

[N2CHX]

Give me a few more minutes. I have to edit and upload a show before I can have playtime and my editor keeps crashing.

[N2CHX]

OK, I'm done and up in the radio room. Name your frequency.

[WX7P]

how about 7246? SRI it took so long, my downstairs computer crashed

[N2CHX]

OK, I am on 7246 now. Listening.

[WX7P]

I could hear you, but no real copy

[N2CHX]

I was hearing you OK. My microphone sucks. The output is really low and even with speech processing I'm only pushing about 20 watts. Let me switch some things over here.

Okey dokey

Kick up to 7247, there's a loud 4 here on 45

OK. Wanna try again?

[N2CHX]

Well, I'm getting plenty of power out now... What happened?

[WX7P]

OK. Wanna try again?

dammit, not happening. hang for about 45, and we'll try again.

[N2CHX]

I was hearing you. Try calling once again. Just want to see if I can still copy you.

[N2CHX]

OK so who else is up to doing some actual ham radio? Before I decide to go smoke a bowl and pass out...

I'm toked and tuned on 7247... let's give it a try. :)

EDIT: Called and listened on both the vertical and full-wave dipole broadside to NY ...nil. :(

My son is awake, and it's his computer, so I'm off the Island.

Will continue to monitor. :)

I tuned away for a bit... Listening now but there's a couple of people on 7247.6

Nothing here, except adjacent channel splatter.

Went down to the CW portion and worked a K2 in Alden. NY.

Conditions are very poor. He was down in the noise,

and I had to light off the 500 W amp for him to copy.

It's Sunday morning, so I'm hanging out on 14.295 with the OMIK gang.
