Title: The New 1885 Post by: KB2WIG on December 21, 2017, 08:30:31 PM There is LIFE on 1885 KC ! ! klc Title: Re: The New 1885 Post by: WB2EMS on December 22, 2017, 12:46:37 PM Last few times I listened it seemed to have been taken over by slop buckets. Was imagining they wouldn't give way gracefully.
Title: Re: The New 1885 Post by: KB2WIG on December 22, 2017, 02:28:13 PM They don't....... Use it or loose it to slopbucket.... " There may be a re-education part to this... Last night a group fired up on 1888 KC. Is this a mindset of, " 3 kc is enough ", common on castrated AM? I listened up and down around 20 KC, and it the frequencies were unused. I'm only running a rice box, ~~ 20 W out, so I'm really pw. Over the last week or so, w1lly, k1kbw, kb1vwc,kb1yfd have been on running a bit of power, so things can work out. KC2ut, about six miles to the west of me was 60dB/9 here..... Kevin, I'd suspect you too could be a 160m Am gangstra and strap the unwashed. I'm gonna go out to day, and lay some mo radials on the snow. The operator, formally known as the HuzMan, started a thread on 'over length' inverted eLs, so maybe we'll have some more activity.

Slop on 85, and maybe some AM down on 80 was what I was seeing. Quote Over the last week or so, w1lly, k1kbw, kb1vwc,kb1yfd have been on running a bit of power, so things can work out. I heard Bob talking about being on there so was going to check it out next chance I had. KC2ut, about six miles to the west of me was 60dB/9 here..... Kevin, I'd suspect you too could be a 160m Am gangstra and strap the unwashed. I need to check on the antenna a bit. Last I recall the back end of the 160 meter 'cloudburner' loop was snared in a deadfall. Don't want to be setting the woods on fire. I mean, I do, but in the wood stove only. :o Look for me sometime next week. If we get some reasonable weather I want to do some work on that and maybe a 630 meter antenna. I never heard anything back from UTC on two tries, so I guess I'm good to go. In the meantime, walk softly and carry a big Festivus pole!

Title: Re: The New 1885 Post by: WB2EMS on January 10, 2018, 03:30:27 PM Was that you on 75 last weekend when I was mobile? I was talking to Clark and someone else and I thought I heard your call but mobile QRN takes out bits and pieces. I can't believe how noisy some cars are as you pass them.
