I heard you on 29.050 this afternoon Steve.  20 over 9.  Whatever you have is working very well.

Ahhh --- it would have been great to talk with you.  That was the 75/160 meter antenna (2 dipoles on 1 feedline) up at 90 feet.  Output power was maybe 80 watts.

10 meters was really good later in the afternoon - steady.  It was a bit up and down earlier.

Yes it would have!  I will be back on tommorow around 5:30 -6:30 your time (an hour ahead).
Whoever you were talking with here in 5 land, of course I couldn't hear but they must have been making some buzzard txmissions!  It was quite a few minutes between yours.   I didn't want to interrupt.

That's one bad thing about 10 meters, not easy to get into a roundtable.

Hey Steve....I heard you too on my 'poor man's' MFJ Hy-Tower.....HA....what a crock....
It turns out that the MFJ updated version is a hellova lot better than the Hy-Gain version ever was. You were very loud here just North of Tulsa.
Some of my elmers back in the late 50's had them. They are a lot quieter if you put a good radial system on it...so I did.
John....Steve was working my buddy Don WB5HAK over in Duncan, OK just South of OK City. He and I yak on the Collins net every tue and thurs.
