Well I just got off the air on 75 with W2NBC Jeff, and Brandon K5IIA. Congrats
Jeff! He said we were his first 'virgin' contacts with his new HB rig! 4-1000 by 2 4-400's. Just sounds *absolutely* tremendous. +30db over in Tucson AZ!! QRZ shows jeff 2100+ miles to me, amazing signal. Brandons sporting a new 120' dipole. he hit me with +20-30, with his new antenna (on the way to 140'!)
73 Deano..

Brandon and Don, K4KYV are the only eastern coast regulars I hear quite often.
My 7k foot qth was able to reliably talk to HLR at times too.
Brandon has quite a station. Can't wait to hear it with the new elevation.

Jeff sounded great, but I think his new transmitter was the Virgin, not deano or myself. We are both wore out haha.

It sounded nice here last night.
If I had my lin~yar online, I might have said hello, and been the First One.

I was glad to hear Jeff. I hope more people start getting on. Me and deano went to 40m after signing with Jeff and the band was good over here with very little noise compared to 75m.

I was listening in to the Maiden Voyage of the new Tall Ship Jeff. I was stuck at work but the rig sounded great on the N4DKD Birmingham, AL websdr receiver. I had opened it up to 15K filters and it was wonderful. I heard Dean-o in there too after a while and he was making Birmingham, AL with no problems. Congratulations and a great sounding rig. I get the feeling all your stuff (Looking at the QRZ page) are top notch before you ever make RF with them.  73 and congrats again. After you signed and left I tried to follow Brandon and Dean-o to 40 meters and had some success listening on the Michigan Great Lakes receiver... the other ones would receive one or the other but not both. |

3875 to 3890 7290 to 7300 And the 20m Monday net. 21.420 29.00 It's funny the bands seem dead at times but they are really not. Just gota set up a schedule wit someone and give it a try. 40 was dead when myself and deano went there, but it was perfectly useable. |

Sounds like you guys are all on later than I can manage to stay awake, I have a hard enough time just to stay on til 11 or 12 at night when I do get on the air, because that's when things start to calm down on the band. |
