Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Sam KS2AM on November 12, 2011, 11:51:02 AM Lots of activity. I just finished with ON5CD on 29080 AM.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Steve - K4HX on November 12, 2011, 12:07:38 PM Yes, I'm hearing him at 10-over now, only 80 watts!
I think I spoke with him on 40 slopbucket a few days ago. Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Steve - K4HX on November 12, 2011, 12:13:39 PM Just worked him.
Now is your chance to get your AM DX on! Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Steve - K4HX on November 12, 2011, 12:17:26 PM Lots of strong FM sigs in the 29300-500 range.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: w3jn on November 12, 2011, 01:27:18 PM band is closed now in EUR, but I heard a bunch of guys including K1KW talking to PW Fallon. Chuck was 20 over and PW was, well, PW.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Steve - K4HX on November 12, 2011, 02:11:46 PM Chuck is whirlwide with that quad stack!
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Steve - K4HX on November 12, 2011, 02:21:45 PM W6II CQ on 29040
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: WU2D on November 12, 2011, 02:32:04 PM 30 minute QSO with Dave G3UUR in Eastern UK at 1400. Southern stations pinning meter on R390. There must be 15 QSO's going on in the AM window.
TX Heathkit Marauder HX 10 in AM mode for 20 Watts out into vertical rectangular loop. Mike WU2D Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Steve - K4HX on November 12, 2011, 02:34:57 PM Hearing K0CDJ in Detroit Lakes, MN off the back of his beam, 29040.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Steve - K4HX on November 12, 2011, 02:40:42 PM BTW, Johnny, still hearing EU stations coming across on slopbucket.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: WU2D on November 12, 2011, 03:18:07 PM Utah and California blasting in at 1500. Fresno just gave me a 58. Getting the Linear tuned up now. I have an old tabletop GSB-201 with 4 811A's and with a little matchbox between it and the Marauder with 20W out, looks like I can do 150W carrier, no problem. I put am extra muffin fan on top for the 811's.
Mike WU2D Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Steve - K4HX on November 12, 2011, 03:23:06 PM K1JJ on 29000.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on November 12, 2011, 03:34:19 PM Raking leaves - having fun
You guys are making me laugh :D Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Steve - K4HX on November 12, 2011, 05:54:17 PM Hearing K1KW on 29000.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Sam KS2AM on November 12, 2011, 06:52:20 PM Not AM but there are a lot of japanese SSB stations lower in the band ... contest weekend for them ya know :P. Just worked a bunch.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: W1RKW on November 12, 2011, 08:07:41 PM 10 was hot again today. Didn't get on the the air though. Fixing the antenna and feedline. Freakin critters did a number on my feedline and antenna.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: WU2D on November 12, 2011, 10:25:49 PM I hate that! I am always catching them biting my RG-8.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Steve - K4HX on November 13, 2011, 04:38:33 PM AM from 29000 to 2150 this afternoon. Lots of big signals too.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: w5rkl on November 17, 2011, 11:31:11 PM I hear quite a few stations on 29.0. This morning M5AFD from England was quite strong on 29.0. Tried calling him but didn't make it. I'm using a converted 11 meter Johnson Messenger One at 8 watts to a G5RV up 30 feet. It's a challenge and the fun meter is pegged full scale.
73s Mike Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on November 18, 2011, 10:07:06 PM Had a pleasant surprise around 9AM this morning. Just casually monitoring around 29.00 (actually 29.002) and UR5QGC (Ukraine) came barreling in. Easy to work him with 100 watts; he was also running 100 watts.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Steve - K4HX on November 19, 2011, 11:56:58 AM Just had a short convo with F6KSV on 29040. Band is open to EU.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on November 19, 2011, 01:51:00 PM This morning I had 24 European contacts between 10:15AM and roughly 11:30AM on 29.02. Then rolled the antenna towards the West and worked a few U.S. stations.
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Steve - K4HX on November 19, 2011, 02:16:08 PM Beams are wonderful things. ;D
Title: Re: Band Wide Open Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on November 19, 2011, 09:04:39 PM Beams are wonderful things. ;D Yep, no regrets with this antenna. 33 years in the air and still perks along.
