You stiffs should really get off the internetz and on the air.

You know who you are.

JA1IFD was on 10 AM 29010 00:04 UTC

I was 5-9 

Also worked about a half dozen other guys stateside on AM.

Watt a blast.

29.000 was loaded with Euro stations last Sunday morning here in the East.
I5KAP is the guy with the CQ tape loop and a 5 watt rig no?

About 15 minutes ago while sitting on 29010, a very faint "CQ" appeared
to come from the speaker of the old TS440...   Just barely above the band
noise was KA1BWO who I thought was in our upper north-east but in looking
him up see he is in Preston, ID...   The band was trying but no cigar...
Better luck next time, Joe...

29xxx AM.

Yastididy afternoon I5KAP was doing his thing. I dumped the amp and screwed a Narda attenuator inline. Dialed my non-descript ricebox down to .5 watts carrier and called Franco. Got him on the first call.

This band is extremely hot. Euro to North Amerika opening lasted almost 7 hours.

Talked with Joe Ka1BWO in Idaho way after dark.

The only guys I can't work are the SKs.
