Title: WA1KNX/7 is now 3 poles to the east Post by: WA3VJB on April 07, 2006, 09:38:26 AM WOW
Get a load of Dean's DX-100 this morning, 3867Kc Arizona to Maryland. He's got a new antenna system described in the sound file. Impressive to hear, must be impressive to see, too. File size about 2megs http://www.wa3vjb.com/sound/KNX-7.mp3 Title: Re: WA1KNX/7 is now 3 poles to the east Post by: WBear2GCR on April 07, 2006, 09:43:24 PM Dunno why but I woke up around 4AM and the radio was on... heard most of the QSO!! :D both sides Q5! Pretty kewl... reminded me of the telescoping "heavy duty" antenna mast I got from Laughalot Radio (how did I get it home??) that was a 40 ft section that I convinced the neighboring landlord to let me put on top of his 6 story apartment building... which I topped with a TA-33jr, and rotated with a chain drive & selsyn for directional readout back in da Bronx, back in da day... heh... the "telescoping mast"... I could see it in my mind's eye out there in the red desert of Arizona! Three... sticking up in the air 8) _-_-WBear2GCR Title: Re: WA1KNX/7 is now 3 poles to the east Post by: Herb K2VH on April 13, 2006, 04:36:51 AM It's 0433 here in the east, and I just signed out a few minutes ago with Dean THE kLEENEX. We were both 9 + 30 at each other's QTH. What a fantastic signal he had with those towers! Frank WY3D, Dave W4QCU, Jim N8ULN and Dave W5UY were in there too. Others were calling in as I signed out. It's great fun to get on 75 at that hour. And now.....back to bed.....YAWN.....
