Made contact with three WWDX members at the top of the last hour. 128 Yard Dog, 630 Black Cat and a repeat performance from 898 Doffo. Good conditions with very little QRM on 40USB. I'll be on again at noon PST.

Family commitments this morning, but I will be on 40USB after 11am PST.

It's been a good DX day so far. I made three WWDX contacts on 16 including talking to 226 no less than three times in one day LOL! And another 10 or 11 contacts on other channels....26.805FM, 27.365 & 445 LSB mostly. Hearing Australia & New Zealand starting to come in now.

Made a third contact for today with 226 and also made the connection with 128 Nebraska. So that's three WWDX members today...... 128, 226 & 898.

Didn't hear any WWDX folks at the top of the last hour. Too many AMers on the channel and now the splatter from 17 is becoming an issue too. I will try once more at 2pm PST. Conditions are very good today........lots of contacts on other channels. Where are all you WWDX folks?

Mexico is a country. The language spoken there is Spanish not "mexican".

Made the connection with 226 at the top of last hour, and a repeat performance from 898. Lots and lots of loud AM carriers squealing away which made it a bit challenging. Off to do family stuff now..........I'll try and get on again later.

Great QSO with 898 Doffo from Kansas just now! That Kraco radio sounds amazing my friend! Nice loud audio and bang on frequency. Also heard 226 calling CQ but couldn't make the trip to Texas today. Heard a West Virginia station too..... Someone is trying to jam the channel with white noise...

Hoping to be on 16LSB tomorrow at 10am, Noon, & 1pm & 2pm PST. And on 40USB Sunday at 10am, 11am, Noon & 1pm. I have family up visiting but I'm pretty sure I can sneak off to the shop around those times......:sneaky:. Hope to connect with some WWDX members.

After a slow start conditions were pretty decent by late afternoon. Couple Arizona contacts and then a short but clear QSO with 226 Brother DXer! Great to talk to you again my friend.....hope to hear you again tomorrow on 16!

Terrible conditions here today after weeks of great DX. A few powerhouses making it through but that's about it. Guess that X class solar flare we had recently is making its presence known. Hopefully it picks up again for the weekend, 'cause it's not very good right now.

Not possible to do that.

Haven't Heard that one yet. I just get the multiple 1111111 guys, the air raid siren, the crying baby, the Fox news simulcast, & the auuuuuuuuddioooooo army. Today there was also a recording of some guy saying "I wish I had a big radio" over and over. Yesterday there were 1111111 guys on both...

Had some nice QSO's this weekend on various frequencies.... 26.805 FM, 27.365, 405, 445 LSB mostly.

I find people using LSB on 16 from time to time. There is an especially active group in the Great Lakes area that I often hear. Of all the channels we've tried in this manner 16 LSB was the one I made the most WWDX contacts on. 35 & 40 are both very noisy on the west coast of N.A. (35LSB is...

That's a big bummer blowing your amp JJ! Hopefully it can be put back in service without too much hassle. I notice my Palomar 200 does run a lot hotter on FM. Nothing the fan can't take care of though.... I can have a long blab-fest on FM and while it gets good and warm it's never too hot to...

Not something I would worry about. The chances of some other component failing first are pretty good............ Don't overvolt or overheat the radio, watch your SWR, be careful if you're driving an amp with it, and that radio should last a long long time.

I've never, not once, heard FM on the regular 40. My experience with FM is that it works much better than you'd expect, but only on a relatively interference-free frequency. It's not very compatible with SSB and AM modes being used on the same frequency at the same time. I suspect that once...

Where did the original post with the pictures go? Just a big blank space there now...

Curious why you would need to swap out a capacitor in an almost new radio? Cap replacement is usually something that happens after 30 or 40 years when the old ones start to dry out......... If you are having issues with a 955HPC+ it is VERY unlikely to be a capacitor issue. In answer to...
