As per Homeland Security, they probably have gone to 800 Mhz digital. I know all the departments in my area have switched. The scanners to listen to the new digital setup are a little to pricey for me. 73 Ed

and less current available to use. All things being constant, anytime you increase available voltage you decrease available current. 73 Ed

Hey Stu, I was on 17 Fri evening and made a lot of contacts, but no cdx HAMS :( . I did get a Japan staion also. Hey, I was out there trying. Where was everbody else? 73 Ed KC0PZE

I will try to be this afternoon and evening. If I can get started around 3PM mountain I will start on 18.140 on thereabouts, probably jump to 40 meters from there, arond 7.255. I will check back here before I get going on the air. You never know maybe 10 meters will open this evening. It has...

Man, to think my mom was wrong all along. :oops: She always told me that two wrongs don't make a right. :lol: :P I just can't stand the ME attitude that prevails in society today. It is really sad. I heard a quote once that I will always remember, "Courtesy is the lubricant of society" ...

Rob, The power increase is in the Service menu. To Access the service menu you need to have one of the 13 pin DIN plugs that plugs in to the ACC2 plug on the back of the rig. 2 of the pins must be shorted, not sure which 2 but I will find out. Turn the rig off, hod down the NR and USB...

HF is a whole different world. Some of the bands are a little more formal than others, 20 seems more that way to me. 17 on the other hand is a great ragchewers band and I love to operate there. I had a 15 min QSO with a station in Kato Japan. We talked about the Super Bowl of all things, it was...

Garth, do you operate any PSK31? That might be the best chance for a QSO that late. I will call CQ DX on 7.070.15 at 05:00 utc, If I get no response I will call on 3.580.15 at around 5 past. Let me know Ed KC0PZE

But I think the attraction of CB is that it is informal and you can just be yourself when you talk. That isn't the case on the Amateur bands. :o I guess Ron hasn't heard this ol country boy from Colorado on the Ham bands. If I can't operate without being myself, well, I wouldn't operate. I...

If anyone is inerested, I will be on 17 meters in about 1 1/2 hours. 23:00 UTC around 18.140. Listen up and give me a call. 73 Ed KC0PZE

Spoken like a true lawyer, :P LOL. Good to have ya back there Hamer dude.

I was on the other side of the pileup. You know having a bunch of stations wanting to work you. I've definitly been on the calling end, and its a lot of fun to get in their and break through and make that contact. Like this morning on 15 meters. With my first try I got to a station in N. Italy...

Hey guys that was cool, just wish band conditions were a little better. Look forward to hearing more from you guys. Still listening. Ed KC0PZE

Hey Steve, I also hang around 7.238 in the evenings. I like the relaxed atmosphere of the Rottenapple group. Listen for me and jump in, and we can have a QSO. I would like to personally invite all the Hams here on the forum to stop by and join in. A real informal group that tslks about...
