Yeah I hear you on not hanging up any mic's I still cb it up, even though I am ham now. now you just have more options on what you want to do.

Gratz the waiting game is no fun but worth it.

hionestly I went from 30 feet of coax to 130feet with 2 barrel connecters in the mix to put the pieces all together an did not notice any signifighant difference in my set up when I switched from out in my garage to in my office with all the extra coax and connecters. obviously there was an...

I'm going to give hamming a break for a few hours, I'll be back on 28.3500 at 3 or 3:30 ESTdepending on how the video gaming is going. you know I can't quit whilst on a roll.

well thanks for the thought hooked. I'm glad you could at least hear me a bit, maybe I'll catch you on there another time, the band died right out though I did move up through the frequencies and made one more contact in puerto rico but He started fading out as soon as we made contact only...

wooo hoo hit three solid contacts in tennesee, south dakota, and florida, it was awesome and then the band started to fade out. I'm excited now in my hand written log it no longer says "(insert random callsign) heard but no contact" I need a better way to log calls

thanks for the info. I love my call sign too, "Keep Bragging 1 Woman Loves Sex" "Keen Bastard 1 Wiskey, Less Seltzer" there are tons for WLS just cant go wrong there. LOL

thanks for the rest of the advice that is what I have been doing scrolling up and down listening for the qrzed and trying to chat to them. so far mostly contestors. I basicly wanted to make sure I wasnt doing anything wrong or maybe had my radio set wrong. it sounds like I am fine and just...

I have never worked beacons and am unfamiliar with them at this point. I wouldn't know how to access them or do anything with them and I don't want to mess up. at least there are reasonable explanations why I am not hearing the replies. hopefully I am not stepping on anyones toes. I doubt its...

is there a reason why t seems I get a lot of lookups on QRZed after transmitting cq calls but I am not getting any responses? is my antenna too weak? am I transmitting further than I can hear? random skip? I would hate to think I am transmitting over some one's calls that I can't hear. I...

28.350 is busy by some one I can not quite read this afternoon so I am going to jump around a bit

sitting beside it 28.350 right now. 05:48 am EST I'll be here untill 06:15 EST. If I don't hear anyone this morning I will be back at about 3:00pm EST or 15:00 EST this afternoon.

on that note I am going to hang on 28.350 for a while and see if I can kick up a conversation.

I hope I find some chatty people because "what number am I?" and "thanks for the contact bye" are not very fullfilling.

ok now what. I have made contacts but it only seems like i can hit people contesting and cant seem to get a conversation started. I did manage to hit brazil, but again contesting. doesn't anyone get up here just to talk? and meet people? So I am going to sit on 28.3500 for a while and...

Awesome, have fun with it!

made a total of 9 contacts today. I'd say that's a job well done. lucky for me there was contesting so it was easy to get a bunch. now to have a real conversation with some one.

Woo hoo first contacts, hit Canadians that were contesting, 2 in manitoba, also made a contact in north dakota. not bad for 10 minutes. I'm still slow on copying down call signs. need practice. going to see how many contacts I can hit on day 1 sio far count is 3

attempted a call out this morning after posting but got no response. I'll probably try again this evening, have too much to do today, christmas season and all.

CHAMBERS, ERICK C KB1WLS T Issued :thumbup: NO MORE WAITING!!
