Title: Chuck on indoorantenna Post by: pe1mph on October 26, 2014, 10:02:44 AM Hello AM Lovers,
Some days ago I found an 'original' wire-antenna for the 11 meterband. I have bought it many years ago.... but I never used it! Now it is hanging under the roof upstairs. SWR on +/- 29.050 nearly 1 : 1 (Inverted V). This afternoon I did receive evenso with this antenne. :D First I heard many constesters on Ten, a pity! But in the beginning of the afternoon, wintertime now... I heard Chuck K1KW calling on 29010 in AM. While he were calling I take a look to my S-meter (Yeasu FT 901). I saw his signal comming up to S9 +5 and I note this on paper.... Later we had a qso and I must change the 5 into a 10 (S9 +10)! After our nice AM qso I listen with the Yeasu FRG 7000. I heard Chuck talking with Uncle Cor PA0AM from Holland. Yes! evenso I heard Chuck with the INDOOR wire-antenna! I made a short recording from Chuck, see below. My friend FA3FKR tried (after Cor's qso) several times to K1KW to make a qso. But Chuck did not heard him, ssb contesters blowing all away (I think!). Thanks for our qso Chuck, Henk, pe1mph Dokkum, The Netherlands Title: Re: Chuck on indoorantenna Post by: KX5JT on October 26, 2014, 11:25:33 PM Amazing!! Chuck always dominates 10 meter AM here at my location when he's on. I haven't been doing much transmitting but I still love to listen a lot. I want to get some "glass" back on the air soon.

There often 2 stations I hear in AM! Larry (K1IED) & Chuck (K1KW) Today I spoke with my friend Jappie (PA3FKR). He told me: 'Henk, yesterday I thought first Chuck is in Holland, mobile near Dokkum..... .... because I heard him very strong on my low hanging wire!' I told him: 'No Jappie, I am sure Chuck were transmitting from his studio in the USA! Because often I hear him with a big signal.....' I hope to work both stations again on Ten! :D Greetings, Henk, pe1mph Dokkum, The Netherlands Title: Re: Chuck on indoorantenna Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on October 27, 2014, 03:58:56 PM Amazing!!
