Going to try to work him when he clears. Title: Re: CQ 21.420 now Post by: Ralph W3GL on April 07, 2011, 12:52:53 PM Okay, here it is April 7th, 1653Z... I hear SSB signals on the
lower part of this band so I've tuned up the rig here to a big 100 watts to my CFZepp and am listening here on 21.420 +/- a few cycles... Do I have any takers? Will let the stuff sit here for a few hours so let's see if some AM action can occur up here where the air is rare... Delarare, USA that is! EDIT - 1755 UTC - Just worked 4X4FR on 21.313 SSB with good signal so band is open for DX... Where are the AMers?

He was SSB, me AM... Title: Re: CQ 21.420 now Post by: KX5JT on April 08, 2011, 05:04:28 PM You guys need to hang out on a frequency longer than 5 minutes. WB2EFS was calling CQ on 21.420 AM and by the time I was able to get off the phone and return his call (less than 5 minutes) he was GONE.
Title: Re: CQ 21.420 now Post by: WB2EMS on April 08, 2011, 09:49:05 PM That may have been me, WB2EMS. I was hopping between 10 and 15 calling on each several times. Sorry I missed you, I'd enjoy chatting again. I will take your message to heart and spend more time dwelling on a frequency when I call. I expect to be mobile for most of the next week, so look for me again. BTW, if it was me, I was running 2.5 watts carrier to a portable whip antenna.

Sooner or later, you'll hear a little voice.

Nice working you also Dave via the AM/SSB combo QSO so to speak. BTW, my rig is a Yaesu FT-102. Thanks for the kind audio compliment. |
