Anyone up for an Arfcom QSO?
I'm getting ready to escape to my 40 meters was wide open yesterday. I made lots of nice DX contacts while browsing the band. Calling CQ, turned into a pile-up of stations calling me for over 2 hours. I love this hobby! |

Australia was coming in loud and clear this morning as well...but they couldn't hear me Will try again tonight when the family goes to sleep. View Quote Ho Lee Cow. I have got to get that. Multiple parallel QSO's. I'm guessing you can still only transmit one message at at time? No reason it couldn't transmit multiple messages. |

I am little late for this one, or I would have given you a try. I am pretty new to HF, and definitely enjoy reaching. I'll keep checking this thread and hopefully get some contacts.

Right now, just alternating between running CQ and answering on JT65 and JT9 across the bands to figure out the proper gain for the new antenna. Basically starting near zero output and gradually working up to see who answers and from where while watching PSK Reporter. |

Holler of you want an Arfcom QSO on 80,40 or 20 meters. 20 meters is wide open tonight with lots of booming signals.
In a while, I'm going to "park" on 14.160-14.180 Mhz, spin the antenna towards Europe and call CQ. Stop by and say hello. I'm W3P** in SC. |

Hi guys. I'm not a radio operator, but there is a member who has family in Mexico City and Puebla. A major earthquake has hit down there. His wife lost family in a quake when she was a teen and is in tears. Any radio operators have contacts down there, or any way to get info beyond the standard communications? Thanks.
ETA they are starting to make contacts with relatives. |
