Finally on
Jon Greene - wx5nco <wx5nco@...>
I'm finally on PSK. Been a long weekend of work, cleaning/re-arranging the shack, and playing with some JT65. I've gone over to 20 psk, and it's been dead all day. I'm seeing some signals on 40. I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED to get a better 40m antenna. Where 'bouts are y'all on the bands tonight? 73 Jon Greene WX5NCOTulsa, Oklahoma EM26 070 - 592 30DMC - 1233 DMC - 741 EPC - 5134 1010 - 74420

Most activity is on 7070 USB. I'm there now if you want to try. Steve W3HF

It's not your antenna. 20 has been up and down all day. Everything else sucked too.

Are you still around? 40 doesn't look bad from here. I just worked TX--maybe the path will be open to OK. Steve W3HF ---In 070@..., <w4rttrandy@...> wrote : It's not your antenna. 20 has been up and down all day. Everything else sucked too. Randy W4RTT

Steve, I'll be back on soon. I was calling CQ and answering calls and no one was answering back. Trust me, my 40 meter antenna setup hoovers (p.c. for sucks). Hopefully I can either get a 40 bazooka or get parts to make a dipole next payday. 73 Jon Greene WX5NCOTulsa, Oklahoma EM26 070 - 592 30DMC - 1233 DMC - 741 EPC - 5134 1010 - 74420

Just had solid copy on KG5JNT in Sapulpa OK, so I think this may work.
I'll try calling CQ down low, maybe around 7071 +/- Steve W3HF

Randy is correct ... 20m was like walking thru the desert.... lousy , lousy conditions... signals were 599 one minute and gone the next ! Jerry n9avy

Steve W3HF, I know that you were on 40m last night because I could see the hams talking to you but nada on your end from here. That is unusual because 40m usually works well locally most of the time. There's just no accounting for what is going on up there. I get Canadian special event stations in Ontario no problem but then see stations coming in from CA and end up working a station in the Czech Rep. with a 599. I've been on 40m more lately because 20m has been really bad here too. Good thing I repaired the 40m radio when I did or I would be pretty high and dry here. ( That's "beached" for all you Navy guys) ![]() Hangin out on 40m. Joe KA1PPV #1482

Joe - Likewise. I saw your call pop us as you worked the SE station, but never saw your trace. Seems to me the band was pretty long last night, at least at that time. I had pretty good copy on stations over 1000 miles away (other than Jon WX5NCO), but not the close-in ones.
