John, Would love to give you ... and me multiple band POTA contacts today but I see no PSK on 18.098 or anywhere else on the 17M band. 73, Bill AG4QX #398

I passed element 2 (Technician) and element 3 (General) on 2/11/2002 and was awarded the Technician license. I passed element 1 (5 wpm code) on 3-1-2002 and got the General license. It is all right th

Many fishing boats from the islands or South America have ham radios and indiscriminately talk wherever they want. Sometimes you can hear 5 or 6. Luckily most of the time they do not talk much or mayb

I call after waiting 10 sec just like when I am CQing. If a trace starts I obviously don't start the next call. On Fri, Jan 29, 2021 at 1:21 PM Paul Butzi (W7PFB) via groups.io <w7pfb=butzi.net@groups

i am calling you on 24.921200 from Florida. I see nothing on the waterfall. Bill AG4QX #398

Scotty, Sorry, typo. I was sitting on 18097. I saw you and KC3FL on 18098 after I opened my filter. You are both about 339 here even though there is about 3000 miles difference in the distance to your

I believe it is the original frequency list from before PSK software had waterfalls with see and click. That is why the frequency is listed down to the hertz level. You had to set your radio on the ex

After monitoring for them on 80M for near an hour I finally saw Stan and worked him. He is at 3.581.39. I can still see him here in Florida but there is some fading. Bill AG4QX

I would not want a Hawaii call unless I lived there. You would disappoint every contact. Bill AG4QX 0398

I also worked Antarctica years ago, a Ukraine station on Galindez Island . I used to regularly work Australia and NZ but my last contact was in 2014. Hopefully starting in a few years the solar cycle
