Post by: The Slab Bacon on October 16, 2005, 02:37:54 AM Damn, Steve, you scooped me on this one! I got on just before going to bed to post it and you beat me to it!! I started that qso from this side of the country. I put out a cq on an empty 3880 around 11:30, Brent answered my cq, Skip joined in and shortly after, all hell broke loose!!!!!!! It was really great to work you and Mike, I havent talked to either one of you in probably 2 years or so! It was AM coast to coast and also somewhat whirlwide with the europeans hearing many of us. In the list of stations that i worked I had calls fron all 10 call districts! We had absolutely no short skip, it was interesting that many stations couldn't hear each other because they were too close, I could hear everyone with armchair copy. It was also interesting that i could work them all with a 60' flat top up only 33'. What a great nite of radio. We covered the entire country!! At somewhere around 1:45 the band closed up tight and I could no longer hear anyone but a few on the east coast!

Post by: K6JEK on October 17, 2005, 02:12:49 PM Last night I was talking with some of the West Coast big guns when who should break in but Tim, WA1HLR. This was around midnight out here so 3 AM in Maine. For awhile Tim was even hearing Jerry, K6DU mobile. Here is who I remember: AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
W6OAU, Scotty on his KW-1 W6IRD, Wayne on his wife's transmitter. Checked out on account of lightning WJ6W, Dave, 20V2 (earlier, Bob, K9EID, via Dave's transmitter and Skype) KO6NM, Mike, Floor model transmitter K6DU mobile, Jerry near Fresno, ICOM 706, WA1KNX/7, Channel Master Dean, vertical beam and something that produced RF. WA1HLR, Tim running just 200 watts out of something ?, Al I missed Al. I believe he was Al, on a 20V2 from the eastern time zone K6JEK, me on the six hardest working FET's on the west coast (300 W, class E) This was great fun. |
