Well I need all the help I can get,
My QTH is about the lowest part of town.. Even the freeway is above me and with 50 feet of tower it just clears it by like 10 feet.
But on the other hand I do hear stuff that others in Phoenix do not, Thinking that the mountians around me act like a...
6meter,
Yes 15 meter has been good to me right now.. first it was 20 meters but thru the summer it was 15 followed by 17.
Current antenna is a Hygain th5mm tri band at about 50 ft in the air also a cushcraft R7 @60 ft above the Triband.
My rig is a Kenwood TS690S/AT barefoot right now...
Actually on 15 meters I show to have 67 countrys confirmed for that band, followed by 20 meters @40,
It was when I clicked "phone" for my DXCC that is how it broke down for what bands/countrys. Keep in mind I have worked different DX stations on multi bands but only counted as 1 towards DXCC...
Ok this is how it broke down per band..
1 = 40 meter
31 = 20 meter
5 = 17 meter
33 = 15 meter
10 = 12 meter
20 = 10 meter
Wow I didnt think I had that many on 10 meters once I looked at it, It is open for such a short time here any more that I dont normally browse it
WHOOO HOOOO
Just got my DXCC 100 confirmed different country contacts on LOTW all SSB.
All less than one year of getting my license. Some where real tough to get like Yemen/Lesotho/Bosnia among a few. Also some real big pile ups to get thru.
May not mean much to some but it does to me...
Made contact with someone on Long island a bit ago on 455..
I wonder who that was "Pat"
The QSB was BAD today, enough to make contact and that is all she wrote.. down to the other bands I go and see what stirs up from asia?
Might try 14.322 in a while
W9FNB 14.322 12/22 Gary
K8LEN 28.455 01/01/13 Doc
WV4L 28.455 01/01/13 Eduk8tr
W9FNB 28.455 01/01/13 Gary heard you in there when going QRT was a station playing music causing QRM on FREQ, Freeking idiots..
Maybe couple new members from a few contacts made. Will try again in a bit
In my book a used amp should be no more than 50 cents a watt. But FLEEBAY idiots demand more or errr pay more (same difference).
A few bucks more for that one having its own power supply I would think
I got him on 15 and 20 meters,
Norman is a good station to work and is ALL business LISTEN to what he sez carefully. Because he will rip you a new A$$ on the air.. And above all DO NOT DUPE him.
