Had a quick contact with @unit_399 but I seem to be in a RF bubble today. WDX1863 Steve had a QSO with him no problem but I rather failed to achieve lol.
Proof positive conditions are everything lol.
Enjoyed the quick contact with WDX1863 in Pennsylvania earlier. Had to turn my beam around for him to get a good contact so conditions are beating on me. Great to hear members out there.
Yes Sir. Appreciated the contact. I haven't heard JJ at all today so far.
I didn't have the directional pointed at you so I apologize for the less than stellar signal lol. Mother nature is being hard on my recieve as well. Have a great day out there!
Typed faster than brain was working. Corrected earlier post. I guess I'm a bit early he did say afternoon. Where you hanging out at? Just talked to 96 out of Ontario no problem, should be able to hear you.
I wouldnt even call a f/t hobby lol.
Most of us its a if we can find some spare minutes in life to give for it lol.
I also called for you on 555 lsb. Got static.
Yes Sir all correct. I did not move it under power. Just like those variable TX stars, big no no but people do it.
It was just defective out of the box.
Smelled some serious "10 ohm" smell out of is as well immidately after keing up with it inline so something or many somethings were not well...
Yes Sir. I'm fine without that tuner inline.
It was brand new and defective out of the box. I was just working at future proofing for the ham bands ahead of time but it didn't work out. Seller sent me a return label so all is well other than my disappointment with MFJ. I WILL now however test...
Sounds lovely. My wife is cold blooded keeps the house boiling if temps outside drop even slightly. Leaves me overheated and faint lol. Dang island dolls. I even forgot what my handle was trying to have a QSO...
Wife cooked some kind of Asian soup, Philippine fried chicken and rice with her spiked up soy sauce with onion, garlic, Thai chili and calamansi - delicious.

It was intended for ham bands once I get my license but that tuner didn't last 2 minutes. Fortunantly my antennas are around 1.5 and 1.2 for CB presently straight through so I didn't "need" the tuner I was just trying to future proof the station and have one unit for meter/coax switch/tuner but...
Well that went badly wrong.
That brand new MFJ 986 was bleeding RF talkback everywhere, would tune down then shoot up to sky high SWR and a something electronic ozone smell is coming from it with a whole 500 (supposedly can take 1.5k max) max watts in.
This thing is going back immidately.
I did...
Unfortunantly I'll be in the office tomorrow no access to radio but I will try catch you this weekend @unit_399 need to see what you hear of the new setup.
