    11 meter is very quiet?

    Yeah the solar site said fair for the day but I actually heard more chatter thru out the day today than I have in a while. Too busy to set at the radio but was nice to hear it sounding off when I passed by for a change.

    Don't feel alone buddy. The solar site said Good for today but you couldn't tell it on my radio. Thank God spring has got me hopping along with other matters !

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I just returned from a 2 day trip about 85-90 miles away and turned the mobile on for a listen a few times and didn't hear much going on. Thank God for the FM Music radio. Probably be Slim Pickens until Fall but we'll keep on trying. I have enough to keep me out of mischief. LOL

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Was going to be a rainy day for most of the day and the solar site said fair so I turned on the 2547 to listen as I was taking care of business. I did hear a fair amount of traffic on 38lsb but the neighbor was home and I was doing research work on my New To Me truck. But it was refreshing to...

    Had to run to the VA hospital today for a Eye exam ( annual) and on the way back I turned on the Q6 Pro and did catch some skip going on but couldn't get a answer. But all is not lost I guess, you just have to hit it right.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I turned my DX 2547 on about a hour ago and could hear someone talking on 38 lsb but sounded way-way off in the distance. I guess better than Hiss but nothing you could work. Oh well spring has sprung so lots to do and when I need a time out I just jump on the motorcycle and go for a Energy...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Turned the base on today for a short bit and nothing so shut it down and was taking care of business ! Later on took a run with the car and only heard Jamaica burning thru. Seems as if Jamaica burns thru often. Anyone else hearing Jamaica in their ears. Seems as if they might be running a bit of...

    Mobile Antenna ideas needed !

    Sorry I just can't bring myself to do it, I'm weak and this is the newest truck I ever owned. If it was a old trail riding jeep I might consider it. I'll sacrifice on performance first. But for sure Have a Ball !

    Mobile Antenna ideas needed !

    I'll never run anymore power than a KL-203 P will deliver, but everybody to their own notion.

    Mobile Antenna ideas needed !

    Truer word were never spoken. When ever I have a antenna on my roof I always keep aware of where I'm going. But even then once I got caught off guard on a major secondary road that is usually well kept. The wind or nature made a limb hang too low and it took my Sirio 5000 performer Mag Mount off...
