John, Great experimental plan!! I will plan to join the test. I doubt I will see you (too close) but maybe can pick up some of your faithful followers. Tnx,

I think even indoor antennas may be subject to voltage spikes from nearby lightning hits. Jerry

I'm going to try 17 thru 10 mts if anyone wants to try. I'll work each band for 15 mins. 17 mtrs 18:00 - 18:15 15 mtrs 18:15 - 18:30 12 mtrs 18:30 - 18:45 10 mtrs 18:45 - 19:00 Hope to see

Agreed. But remember that most of my antennas are indoor (due to HOA rules), so I don't bother. (I figure if lightning hits the house, I have bigger problems than a zapped radio.) This was the one

Everyone should have antennas grounded when not in use. My remote antenna switch out on tower does that when I turn everything off. Jerry

Operator error happens. Think that's what happened with my ALS-600 amp; the fix at Ameritron was $500 or so... blew finals (all 4). Ouch ! Expensive lesson. One thing you need to know is that HEAT

Bummer. Back about 15 years ago I fried the finals on my FT-817. Fortunately I had another rig, but hadn't gotten around to setting up the interface for PSK. The dead finals gave me the incentive. My

This is so frustrating. My uBITX is on the bench 'cause i blew up the two IRF510 MOSFETS and a few other parts. The finals were crybabies and went all Chernobyl on me due to so called "operator

I would like to work other bands too, thanks to a spine injury I never know from day to day if I’ll be able to get on air or not. If a “tentative” or similar schedule ends up available I would

What frequency on 17m ???? Jerry

i'm on 17 meters right now. It may be too late in the day (00:00Z), but band still seems to be up. JH -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ de KG5OIB John Hendry

I worked J69DS, Frans in St Lucia at 21:33 today . Right after our qso a ZF5 called him and both were solid print. Cycle 25 Rocks, or at least it's starting to.

Worked Yovanny back in 2008.... Jerry

Unusual DX for PSK31 J69DS is on 20m calling CQ at 2119z on 11/27 14071.4 or so Steve W3HF

I'll give it a shot. I worked a German station abt a week ago on 20 and he asked me to try 17. He was a better copy on 17. We tried 15 but no go. The SFI was in the 80's not like the 106

That's a great idea, similar to those attempting to achieve the 24/7. Let me know when and I'll be there, however we may be too close to even see each other. Jim K5SP -- Jim, K5SP #483 Executive

Would anyone be interested in setting unofficial schedules for working bands other than 20? I know I use 20 as my go-to band for PSK, but I would love to get some calls on other bands especially
