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.

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...

I always laugh and say how do people ever get bored and No Rest for the Wicked !

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...

Toilet paper is a must ! I remember the days of the Sears & Roebuck catalogs and that is ruff on the Hemorrhoids and there is not enough corn cobs around ! LOL

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 !

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

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...

And the same to you & yours. DX is rather lite so far today.

Good point to think about as we travel the over grown byways.

A rack has crossed my mind also and they are easy to weld to. But I'm thinking above the cab so I can carry 16' lumber or 21' pipe on occasions. A life time of being in industry is hard to shake for a "Old Fart". LOL

Thanks for the ideas so far & looks like I'll have to do some thinking on this project. Sometimes I can be a Old Hard Head about Antenna in the center of the roof and need a kick in the pants. First thing I'm going to a truck cap place to see what is available that I can add a ladder rack to the...

Well the time has come that I had to part ways with my old 2004 Ford Expedition ( Sob ) because it's getting to expensive to keep it on the road. I just purchased a 2023 Ford F 150 but the problem is the Aluminum body doesn't go well with all my Magnetic mount antennas. I have some ideas...

For a change of pace the solar site said Good for 10-12 meters the past two days and I've heard good activity the past 2days . But of coarse my neighbor took off work yesterday and I've been up to my backside in vehicle repairs so it didn't do me any good, but at least I was happy to see that DX...

Smart thinking. I made a lift system overhead hoist to lift the front of the tractor of the ground to clear the clods of grass from under the deck so they don't set there and rust the deck.

Looks like more of the same today, I hope not this early in the year but I might have to take my Lumps like a big boy !

Well the Solar site said 11 meter was poor today and that was a fact.The only noise I heard was out of ch 6 AM and I'm not into that. But I was able to complete a outdoor spring project so not all was lost. I hope the rest of you fared OK today

LOL Your wife is clever, I have to give her credit. Graigslist has it's share of winners but good people also. My last purchase from there was a real nice Yamaha 700 Grizzly.

Graigslist is another place I buy and sell from and it doesn't cost to sell there except for Autos but then again your dealing with strangers.

Conditions were strange today. The solar site said Poor today for10-12meter and it was that. But I did take a run with my mobile once today and once in a while I could hear some skip that sounded way off in the distance but it was plain as day. This afternoon went to my radio room and heard...
