... to finally be back on the air. Testing out my new rig today, and it's nice hearing everyone on the bands. Must be a contest or something right now, though, although I don't see any on the calendars I've been perusing.

Upper HF has been poor today in terms of propagation - apparently we got hit by a CME some time in the last 24h and the accompanying magnetic storm shut things down a bit.
It'll be nice to see some Es on 12-10M with the advent of late spring and early summer.

It wasn't a CME, it was a UGV. Now that he has a radio, of course the bands go to shit.

Now, I think I'll apply for a vanity call with CME in it :)

Ya better get crackin. There's only 242 until Christmas. With 50 out of a possible 700 questions, you can only spend a little under 3 days on each one. Of course, you probably want to get the ticket by Thanksgiving, which gives you even less time.

Excellent. If you ever run across something you don't understand, post it on here. There are a lot of very sharp people around here. If no one has the answer, rest assured, we will make up one that sounds good.

Like Grandma always said, if you don't have the answer and can't impress them with your knowledge, dazzle them with your bullshit.
It actually seems to work.

Good to hear you getting back on the air, Corey. I know how much it sucks being without a rig, i didnt have one for a year...but thanks to a humble Southern gentleman we all know, maybe we can now meet on the air.
