HAHA! Yes! I got some international DX at last!
136WI411 operator Jeff was on 555 QSYing someone to 585 so I followed them up there. Took me a minuet of them talking to figure out that 136 was his prefix haha. I thought they were done so I called to him, but they weren't done and he asked me to stand by. I was so surprised that he heard me, I scrambled to get a pencil and paper. On my Galaxy 99v that Oldtec03 fixed up for me with a condenser mic and a KL203 he said I was "Booming" 5/9 periodically dropping to 5/7. Had a great exchange, names, signal reports, and weather.
Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
