11 meter is very quiet?

[Farmer Brown]

Good deal. Up on 27.425 now if you want to try me.

Super cool!!

Good deal! Lots of fading here, but glad to make liaison with 711 and Farmer Brown!!

still standing by!

 

[Farmer Brown]

This is what I have in-line today

 

[NightThumper]

Just made contact with 995 in NC....this is W711 Keystone....Nice QSO. Made contact initially at 100 watts then went to 1000....LOL

 

[2NC995]

Tough conditions for sure, but very clear copy on both you and Farmer brown...both had great sounding stations, too.

Man that's cool, I was also able to make a short contact with him he is sounding good down in the razorback

Heard you back in there Farmer Brown, but my conditions fell apart. Had about an S5 on you, but couldn’t make it back


Will do again when the conditions are better...back to cruising the band.

Using this setup today

 

[2NC995]

Much fancier than my cockpit

 

[2NC995]

I'm going to go and check 38 LSB right now and see what's happening

I hear you in there, 75 in Sweet Home Alabama, but don’t think my “good morning” made it into your receive!

I heard you call me and I keyed back up and my radio went pop pop pop pop. I had to replace the 4 IRF520's on the right side. Turned the bias down to 3.20v on the gates. Hopefully it might last a bit longer than a few days. But hey, Just talked to North Texas off my stock Cobra 2000 GTL. lol

 

[2NC995]

Well that’s no good...I figured conditions dropped out on me!

Thank you, pleasure was on my end. Looking forward to it again.

I let a mint 2000 GTL get away some years ago because I didn't realize my friend would have sold it to me. About a month later he showed it to another friend and my feathers dropped lol.

Maybe another one will come my way before too long.

 

[Unit 75]

I'm going to put mine up for sale. It is in excellent condition and totally refurbished but it ain't cheap. Has the best of everything and it's done right.
