ARRL 10 Meter Contest Means HF Fun for Technicians, Too!

It WOULD be better on Sunday! I had to fill in at work for a jerk with a fraudulent insurance claim..

Don't care much for 11m/CB skip, EXCEPT for my amped up bro & pop.
Guess its time to return to cw on the HF bands. Morse works, & works with le$$, than any other mode.

Not going to do much here at the house, I save my main "push" for the cabin, where the towers are.
HOWEVER, I do intend to make a Pixie-II w/coaxial aerial in a food-free lunchbox. I work outta those huge wind turbines (120-200ft@8000ft elevation). I figure I can drop a wire antenna from the "urinal" vent, and work some CW.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
