Saturday night meet up? (3/22/2014)

[NWARadio]

How'd some folks like to try and meet up tomorrow night on HF? I've also got access to an EchoLink repeater and I can put EchoLink on my phone, too. I'll be cutting wood tomorrow, so I won't be able to get on until evening/night. Probably around 6pm CST til 9 or 10. Just give me a time and a frequency! Keep it Tech or General; I don't have my Extra class yet.

If I'm home I'll get on the air  :)

Gil.

I should be available.  I'll meet you here and we'll pick a frequency then.

I guess we'll need everyone to post their call signs.  I'm <expletive deleted  :)>.  Real name PJ.

[madball13]

no need to post call signs. just pick a freq on SSB and I'll try to make it

[vwflyer]

I'll try and tune in. My 80 meter dipole won't let me transmit on any freq. higher than about 21 MHz.

[NWARadio]

What's everyone's license class? That'll help us decide where we can meet. I'm a General but my antenna won't tune 160m. 80 and up I'll be ok on.

[John Galt]

The TAPRN frequencies are 7.242 and 14.242.  I'd suggest 20 meters.

[vwflyer]

14.242 then? How about the time?

[vwflyer]

I just discovered that my 80 meter dipole will tune up on 10 meters :D. If this is to be done as SSB phone then 28.3-28.5 is about the only place techs can participate. I don't know if there is anybody with a tech license here wanting to join in or not. About an hour ago the conditions on 10m were pretty good but they are probably deteriorating rapidly.

[John Galt]

Looks like somebody moved into 14.242 so we can maybe move up some.  VW, I'm up and running.  Is anyone else available?

[vwflyer]

Just saw you were up John. What freq?

[John Galt]

28.365   What's your call?

[vwflyer]

n7bhp

[John Galt]

n7bhp

Tried a few times but not hearing anything.

NWAradio, you around?

[vwflyer]

yup. no contact on 28.365 but heard someone asking if freq in use but didn't hear call sign.
