Title: Don't forget 15M when 10M is open
Post by: g3ypz on October 05, 2011, 08:04:40 PM
I had some very good QSOs on 15M this evening after 10M dropped out. Some very good signals indeed - many over s9.
I'll be on 21.420 again tomorrow.

  Hi John ; Wish I could join you on the air agn. 15 has been hot for sure..I worked you on 14330 a few months ago, right now I'm doing a rewire/rehab on the whole station so it's totally down for another week 'er two. Have to find room for added gear while I'm at it..
   Good DX and 73, lane n8aft.

Nice "Q" today John on 15mtrs..in case anyone wants to know John reached to 20 over S9 for awhile there..nice "ragchew" for sure..lots of others too have been worked on or around 21.420..John said he had been on 10mtrs earlier but we musta missed each other..I did manage quite a few looooooong contacts there b/4 coming up to 15mtrs..time??..1800UTC seems to be a prime time..oh and if ur looking to catch some activity on 10mtrs..be warned..the Russkie gals are back invading the lower end of 29mhz with their FM retreads..very annoying..hope they stay away from 15mtrs..enjoy 15 gang!..conditions are great!!   73 de DAVE

I just had to throw this in..today had a FB contact with gud friend Tom W0TDH on 21.420 AM..nice to hear his 3rd AF-67 nicely modded with the D-104..Tom was using his amp but very low pwr..never dropped below S9 until 20mins or better into the "Q"..heard a few stations underneath but not even close to Toms signal.....I have been routinely working John G3YPZ every day except today..another BIG station as John usually hovers around S9 if not over..all in all it was a real treat to re-connect with Tom..maybe I should swing the beam more SW from now on......oh yes I mentioned that 1800UTC was "prime time" on this band..well looks like 1830 to 1930UTC is a bit more realistic for those up here in "Moose Country"     73 de DAVE
