I'm still green as a ham....
But 10 meters was open this evening and I made a few contacts- then jumped down to 40 and nabbed I2VRN. Especially fun because my last contact with him was in 2013 on a station owned by K8WZS.
Also have my VHF/UHF antennas back up. Checked into a Skywarn net. Then played around with my TS-711a.... love that little radio.
Ok.. so it's not impressive- but damned I had fun!

10 open? No way dude! OK, maybe up there it is.
I thought I was doing good listening to ZL1WN on 14.252. Listening, since this location apparently doesn't want to let any rf out...only in it seems. He seems to be hearing your part of the world fine
Good job working 10. Enjoy!
Now that is a ZL that I'd like to work one of these days...Originally Posted by AF7XM

I'm sorry. I left and had to wash dishes right after I posted that. Had I known I would have spun the knob and listened for you.
Ha! Bagged VK2GWK, 14.222 06:00z. I guess this OCF still works after all.

Since when is a ham green? (;->)
After all that belly aching about no propagation it's GREAT to hear things are picking up! Here I sit a paper ham sans antennas, do you know how much that pisses me off? DO YOU???

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
