Was busy yesterday out in the garage fabricating new snow skid shoes for my snow blower so sounds like I missed the action. But at supper time i had my newest 980 turned on setting on the kitchen table down stairs with just a Tram mobile antenna on metal in the window. I could hear 38 lsb was...

I heard a little chatter from my base station but couldn't break thru to the other side. Tomorrow is another day !

My excitement of DX starting up died 3 days ago and it's back to waiting again. Oh well I have enough to keep me out of mischief. LOL

Thanks ! I guess I missed that. But I've told myself to get a hold of myself and quit buying radios. Unless I get to the point of finally getting a Ham Ticket. But at least I'm with a bunch of diseased Brothers ! LOL

Can the power out be turned down to work with a KL 203 P ?

No not as of yet, I haven't had time to study for a ham license because of to many irons in the fire finishing up work at this place. I don't want to go into the Ham ticket study Half Ar st and add another thing to my plate to juggle. Hopefully I'll get there sometime before I kick the bucket...

I have no doubt you could reach me because the last few years Texas has been a real big player up here in N/E PA. But the solar site says conditions Poor for 12-10 meter today but that doesn't always hold true. Until after Sunday we are starting our Special Deer season for Senior Citizens and...

Made contact today with Louisiana today running the Q6 Pro Raw power in the mobile so that cheered me up. But had too much on the plate so had to Keep on Hoeing ! But it is refreshing to hear the radio come alive again, just hope it last.

Decided to listen to my base as I showered to get ready for my granddaughters birthday party and 37 lsb was rocking so I couldn't resist. After I finished I gave a shout out and got a come back but couldn't get them to come back with where they were from. But that was good enough for me to feel...

Yeah I heard 37 lsb talking away in my Q6 Pro mobile today and was exciting to hear. But the raw power of the Q6 Pro doesn't seem to be enough to help me get out of these hills & valleys unless skip is really rocking. I've learned patients in my old age. Hope everyone is getting some air time.

Yeah I started to hear more clearly today which was nice. But I still couldn't cut the mustard as far as making a contact, but I tried. Better days coming ( I Hope ) LOL Spent most of the day mowing and chopping up leaves. Winter prep is busy with lawn and equipment prep. And soon comes...

Rather disappointing yesterday with a bunch of garble breaking thru that you couldn't understand but once in a while someone would break thru clear. Thankful for fall projects to keep me busy.

I feel your pain because I spent a life time in maintenance moving & dealing with that crap. I spent most of the day filling my outside cellar way with coal because I can't have a inside coal bin. Next project is making new skid shoes for the snow blower because you can't buy replacements for my...

What I found interesting is it was said they are more quite then other antennas but is it directional and need a rotor ? You have any links on making one for 11 meter ? Thanks I always like to learn new things.

Never heard of the delta loop antenna so checked it out on the internet and sounds like a Ham antenna but can it be used on 11 meter also ?
