So my girlfriend's son "Mr. Brownstone" (10 years old) is really interested in radio so I'm getting him checked out on the station. There is a local YouTube channel that broadcasts channel 17 in real time which is kinda fun. So, Mr. Brownstone was chatting in the YouTube room and one of the...

Just tonight at 2300UT I worked A33 Jim in Brisbane, Australia from Western Washington on 36LSB. Armchair copy!

I call this "hopeful radio ear" that all us old timers have. We WANT there to be someone there, damnit!!

Seattle to Australia 38LSB Cobra 148GTL Sirio Tornado 5/8-wave vertical

Today 11m was so hot in Washington that I could barely pull anyone out. Worked: 025 Oklahoma 029 Houston 334 Alabama 823 Kentucky 318 Houston 425 Texas I'd say a successful day of DXing.

Thanks! I was mostly inspired by my search of "Classic QSL cards" on the net. Go down the rabbit hole, there were some pretty funny/creative dudes in our hobby in days past!

I'm going to be making small mods, I was such in a hurry to get a few out that I totally blanked on these. There will be additions!! Also, it can be pared down to 3.5 x 5.5 with the magic of my graphics app! Thanks for the pointers, 73!

It is my day off and I slept in, but monitor 27.165 when not on SSB! Do you come through often?

Anyone else design their own QSL card? I think I’m done and here’s the first version!

Thanks guys! Gonna try my hand at soldering for the first time in a long time! I think this pair should sound quite classic together!

So, I have a Shure 526T mic I'd like to wire up to this radio. The Shure like 6-pin male... that's gotta come off and I need to wire up to the Royce 4-pin. Can someone make this brainless for me? Clearly I have too many wires in the Shure.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I need to wire a mic for it, but it plugs in and powers up - I suspect it will work! Any diagrams would be welcomed, any memories too!

Sooo, finally got some daylight and low wind here in Western Wa, my inkling was WRONG! The top set screw on the Sirio Tornado let go. The antenna simply slid out of tune. Cancel red alert: all's well in the shack! Thanks everyone!

So, I just put up a Sirio Tornado a few weeks back and worked Japan, Australia and Brazil in addition to tons of southern US stations. This past weekend, I left my radio on (just receive) for about 8 hours and when I came back, the first time I keyed up the radio (AM) was down on the meter from...

Super quiet here in Western Washington.

27.385LSB most afternoons and evenings here in Western Washington.

I can hear Australia here in Seattle before grey line in the afternoons! Just a ton of Aussie voices!

I have had my Icom 7200 for a year now, and would like to put up something like in the shack. (This is a local 45 Kilo, who has his streaming live on YouTube most of the time. I believe he's on one of the islands in Puget Sound. My 7200 has a USB connector in the back, so all I really need to...

I'll be listening for you tomorrow up here in Washington!
