Old DX’r proverb: “One man’s (or Paula’s) DX, is another man’s QRM.” From the left coast, we have JA’s, HL’s VK’s, and the occasional BY station show up daily. DU isn’t rare either, nor is HS. YB is in my digital log also. We have to occasionally run KH6’s to keep them happy too. I sure wish we could get some of that East Coast, EU type DX even just from time to time would be nice... We’ ve had our different 070 Club Operating Events, where I’ve sat here and actually watched Chuckie, N2EOC, run EU stations on 80 meters from NJ! I know that Karen, W4KRN has done the same. Short of putting up something that’s rotatable, or a Rhombic, I guess more wire is what I need from here for the ‘DC’ bands... Just sayin... Milt.

Re: Repeater Grounding.

How a conversation can be warped over repition.

My Original comment "I was also blessed with very rocky ground which means no RF ground." I still maintain that the repeaters used folded dipoles or as Milt suggested 1/2 wave antennas. This shud not be confused with Motorola grounding all the equipment on a granite peak. In my mind these will always be two distinct issues and while one can supplement the other they should not be lumped together. A crappy HF RF Ground remains the same even if all the Moto stuff has a ground. off the soapbox and gone out for the day so let the education start. have a good one Barry ---In 070@..., <n9avy@...> wrote : Sorry Milt, but the guest at our club meeting wasn't talking about grounding of antennas, but grounding of everything else atop a mountain in multi-million dollar , multi-site installation for border patrol in Maine.

Re: vk6lc on 20 M...+ Just sayin'...
I was in there around 1400-1600 UTC, but got a call for a job so have to leave shack in a few minutes. Wish I could retire, but I figured it out and I can do it 5 years after I'm dead. Worked a handful of usual Europeans , mostly F's and DL's with a lone G. No sign of any 9A's though. They must all be in hiding ! :-) jerry n9avy

Re: Guilty
Ray Clements
There are some digital software programs (I use HRD DM780) that allow you to create multiple sets of macros. For example, you can create a set for normal PSK operations, you can create a set for DX contacts, DXpeditions, etc. You can create sets for various contests with the specific contest exchange information. Then you include in each set only the specific macros you might need for a specific situation. I include a brief "station" macro in my PSK set only and I rarely use it. It does not even exist in the other sets so there is no chance of my triggering it by mistake and aggravating the folks who do not want to see it. Ray N9RWC

Re: vk6lc on 20 M...+ Just sayin'...
Motorola installed repeaters in Maine atop mountains which were solid granite. They made it work somehow. Maybe just a bucket of salt water with a ground wire ??? Jerry n9avy

I am 1000ft up the south side of a mountain which means no coverage to the north of me (europe). I was also blessed with very rocky ground which means no RF ground. I do have a spectacular view. Pros and cons to every location. have a good evening Barry ---In 070@..., <n9avy@...> wrote : ... and a mountain top ! :-) jerry From: "'Milton Garb' n6mg@... [070]" <070@...> To: 070@...

Old DX’r proverb: “One man’s (or Paula’s) DX, is another man’s QRM.” From the left coast, we have JA’s, HL’s VK’s, and the occasional BY station show up daily. DU isn’t rare either, nor is HS. YB is in my digital log also. We have to occasionally run KH6’s to keep them happy too. I sure wish we could get some of that East Coast, EU type DX even just from time to time would be nice... We’ve had our different 070 Club Operating Events, where I’ve sat here and actually watched Chuckie, N2EOC, run EU stations on 80 meters from NJ! I know that Karen, W4KRN has done the same. Short of putting up something that’s rotatable, or a Rhombic, I guess more wire is what I need from here for the ‘DC’ bands... Just sayin... Milt.
