I'll be on 136 till 8 pm central time and then I'll move to 20 meters and I'll update the frequency then.

No takers. I'm signing off and watching tv. I'll be back on again Saturday. If I get on tomorrow it'll be around the same time and I'll post on here.

I called a couple times after the frequency cleared but didn't get through.  Sorry to leave ya hangin' but got involved with getting the kids ready for bed.  I should be on tonight and/or tomorrow again so hopefully we can give it another try.

I had to get off the radio when my wife and stepdaughter hot home from softball, so I know all about getting kids ready for bed. No problem there. I'll try to be on again this evening on the same frequency, unless I get interference. 18.136

I may be able to get on the radio sometime this weekend.  I've got a RACES event to work Saturday morning with the March of Dimes; but I'm hoping to get some time to work this week's W1AW stations.

I have a very low, do-it-all antenna and I've noticed that sometimes especially when it's raining (?) it won't even tune up.  I'm guessing that 17 is one of it's weakest bands.

Let me finish this qso and we will try another band. Let me know what you can tune up on.

Well I just got W1AW/1 in MA on 17 meters - 18.124 up 3 so something's working.  Right now I can tune up on anything.

I hear Dave in SD great. Are you on the vertical?  We may be to close for this band.
Title: Re: 17m anyone?
Post by: NWARadio on April 11, 2014, 09:38:47 PM
Yes the vertical is all I have. Want to try another band? I've hot about a half hour to try do if you'll pick a frequency I'll tune it up.
