Working on the roof to repair some leaks all day so no radio. Probably tomorrow. I want to try 27.555, but will need a different radio to do it. Working on it

Must have just missed you 226 ! I was on 590 about an hour ago with Mexico, but had to go run a couple errands.

We went from 555 to 590 and I was there about 10 minutes. Other than Mario, I didn't hear anyone else. I caught the tail end of it today.

I made a few contacts on 38LSB around 1ish this afternoon, mostly Boston and the likes. Dildo in the desert was jamming 19 for 3 hours straight. I'm curious....if his setup is so perfect, why could I hear him equally clear on 19 upper and lower SSB?

why could I hear him equally clear on 19 upper and lower SSB?

That's because Dildo-duck is running good 'ole AM mode, which is basically both sidebands plus a carrier signal. Listening to AM in either LSB or USB mode you will hear a tone from the carrier and the audio........

was in trucks all day. gave up on ssb. went to 19 squelched bs out n turned am fm up n listened to brandi behlen sing i wish he had been drinkin whiskey when he told me goodby

It's not. You just technically have to have a permit though many do not.

I'll have to look into that some more, that's where the wife is from.

 

[Keto]

Maybe in the same way that freeband is illegal here LOL!
I talk to the Philippines on a fairly regular basis from here in the late afternoon / early evening and there seems to be lots of stations there.

That's where my old Cobra 2000 was made so that wasn't adding up.

I tell you they're replicating. I genuinely don't get what these tortured, friendless souls get out of blocking coms. I can appreciate the random "squish dummy" or "shut up stupid" but the endless transmitting of blocking signals just for the purpose of ruining everyone else's fun....I'm guessing these are what the high school bullies grew up to be.

Lol, I kind of miss what used to be locals around here in a Squish Squash every once in awhile.

Mine also. Cagayan de Oro.

 

[lonestarbandit]

Not sure where everyone is so moving around LSB 38-42

 

[BC Coyote]

Conversations about 4 deep on 27.400 LSB, but I do hear some WDX callsigns in there...... There is a dude in Arizona on this channel who never stops talking LOL !

I had to Google that one that looks like a nice place.
Mine's from Lingayen. I didn't know until after I was there two or three times and Googled it that's where we( USA) had our amphibious Landing to liberate the Philippines from the Japanese. Nice people

We did a van tour for a week plus of a lot of spots on Luzon, the whole of the bataan death march road, some very old churches (some collapsed in later earthquakes sadly) famous caves, tons of other locally famous lighthouses and other places. Great place and people for sure. I didnt make it to Fort Drum unfortunanly we ran out of time. I could see it from the shore bt no time to charter a boat and go out to it.

Very interesting I'll try to PM you and let the thread roll.

Around here the band opening wasn't too shabby. Swapped back into the 7900V with a Texas star 399 behind it and was able to work some dx from east to west with a station down unda.

Lots of Romeo Golfs and Needlebenders but not a single Whiskey Delta X-Ray to come across today.

Hope everyone has a great weekend or what's left of it.
