    Amazing Conditions the last week or two!

    BC Coyote I am just south of Steve 999 about 40 miles, we have talked a couple of times when the conditions are good for us. We both were working S. Korea and Asiatic Russia late yesterday afternoon. I'll be listening for you in the late afternoons on back-scatter. Larry - 2SD178

    Channels to check for dxing into Europe.

    Discovered a new one yesterday, lots of chatter on 27.300 usb, at which I talked to a mobile in Japan. I then remembered that I had also talked to a station from there back in Feb., - so that's one that can be listened for in the Asia area.

    Channels to check for dxing into Europe.

    Humm - I wonder how it is that I have talked to several stations in S. Africa on 27 through the last cycle and have had several people tell me from there, that 27 is their call channel? But I guess it doesn't really matter, I'll just carry on talking to them in S. Africa on 27..........

    Channels to check for dxing into Europe.

    I do believe that 27 USB is a S. Africa call channel and that ch 28 USB might be for the UK.

    Channels to check for dxing into Europe.

    I know that there lots of people that know this, but a little more info might help. There as been more and more people operating from EU in the 40 channel area - mostly channel's 35 to 40 on the LSB (but don;t be afraid to check out USB too}. Also remember to check the "0"s also, like - 370...

    Anyone own this Beam

    A local here had one, but took it down. Not sure if his was a 8 or maybe a 4, but either way he didn't like it at all. It was hard to tune and he discovered that when he transmitted on the vertical, there was lots of power coming back down the horizontal feed line. So he has it for sale and...

    It's been an interesting week.

    Well Captain Kilowatt sure hope those blood cots go away. Probably be on "blood thinners" before long, like I am now, with my AFib. I too now have shortness of breath, down to 30% lung capacity now..... because of my Bronchitis over the years...... So be very careful and I am sure your wife...

    30-30 Ammo

    I was fortunate to be able to get all of my brass free for many years. Rifle range + gravel pits around here always had plenty of brass laying around. I sold over 2000 brass casings (30-06) to local scrap yard one day. I also made a $40 sale to one gentlemen on some 300 Weatherby Magnum casing...
