Title: Coast to coast (almost) Post by: ka1tdq on November 24, 2016, 12:12:20 AM I was able to talk with Steve, WA1QIX tonight on 75 meters using my class E rig. It puts out full power, but my dipole is low to the ground. I was very pleased that I was able to talk with the east coast given less-than-ideal band conditions.
So anyway, it's Thanksgiving! I hope everyone gets stuffed and has a good nap. I will be hitting the stores with my wife for the 36 hour duration after the meal.

Yeah, that was a good QSO. I was hearing you quite well, particularly near to the end of the contact, as the evening wore on and band conditions got better. Have a great Thanksgiving! I'm sure we'll be able to QSO again during the winter as the band conditions continue to improve. Regards, Steve |
