I'm off that frequency. A Canadian station is somewhere close to that frequency and I'm getting tons of people calling for him and bleeding over onto .520. I'll try again another day this weekend.

When you decide, give me a frequency and a time and I'll try to make it. Please give me a little time for my phone to get the email that someone has replied to this topic. Also, please pic a frequency that's available to General class or Technician class. I'm not an Extra. I'm KF5TJC.

Usually I talk to Ray on 14068 at 11AM EST (CW), but not every day.. It's a hit-and-miss thing. So, at the tail end of that I am available on 20 or 10m, possibly 15m, depending on how much SWR I get on my end-fed (usually works on CW portion). I can do USB with my KX3, just need to find my $1 Ebay-special microphone somewhere...

Nope, I called on 14068, but Ray wasn't there.. We don't connect every day, which is fine, only when we are both available at that time. I should be on tomorrow, same time and place..

Sorry Gil,

i've been a little under the weather lately.  Nothing that a good Martini can't cure though.  Speaking of which....

And I have been very busy, which in a way is good, but doesn't leave me much time for radio...

I just worked a PP5WH in Brazil, and WA1GZY who was located in Florida on 28.520 Mhz. The band just broke though. Not many signals now. Did not hear any of youse guys.

I caught a lot of activity from the Wisconsin QSO party.  I also worked both of the W1AW stations (/7 Idaho & /4 Kentucky), Austria and Bulgaria.

I still wanna try to get a Ukranian station...while there's still a Ukraine to work!  :)

CW or phone?

I too want the Ukraine while it lasts :-\

As much as they clog the airwaves, I've found participating in the odd contest to be a good learning experience.

For some reason I haven't been getting reply notifications in my email. I had no clue all you guys were posting! This weekend I'm having my house painted, so I'll be at home all day Saturday and Sunday. I'll try to post whenever I'm on, that way someone can try and catch me. Daytime I'll probably be on 10 or 17. Right now I'm rarely on at night, since that's when the kids are home and I spend time with them and the wife.
