Ok, this is how this works, you make a post, when you are online, you edit it to say so, and what frequency.
When you are off, edit it to say offline. Call signs are optional, most of us know each other's anyway. If we all pitch in we could have a nice easy way to spot each other. Ill start: Offline |

World ain't what it seems, is it Gunny?

Don't confuse where I live with where I'm from.

Yeah, it was. Too bad you couldn't hear the guy in CT with 5w. That was fun, and you sounded better than any time in the past. A good 2 S units better.
The guy from FL was talking to someone else when I left. Edit: The guy with the KX3 was surprised my radio had a CW decoder and a tuner built in for less than a third of the cost of his radio alone. |

Italian (I think) contest station, easy copy in AR on 21.287 rn. Not coming back to him, I don't intend to jump through the logging hoops and don't want to waste the guy's time.

I can't call for that long. I hollered for about ten-fifteen minutes.

I still see some waterfall action on 15. I'll try to be back in the shack around 1945GMT

Sorry. Was too late.

Sooooooo. What is wrong with the people on 7.200? Is this the insane asylum of 40m?
|

7.200 and 14.313 are the international tuning nets.
I.e. Sesame Street. Mental midget VE3KFM's favorite frequency. Occasionally I'll tune in for lulz. It ranges from mindless banter to hard core graphic discussions or even outright calls for rape, murder, arson, and rape. |

10M is pretty hot today, waterfall is full on FT8.
|
|
How come every time there is a shooting, they want to take away the guns from the people who didn't do it?
|
I've been trying to work a little more on the radios lately doing mostly FT8.
I only need Hawaii to get my WAS, I am on the east coast and never see any Hawaii stations on at the usual times I am up and about. What is a good time to catch a station from Hawaii ? I've tried kicking around on the bands 10, 15, 20, 40, I use PSK Reporter to check my propagation and have made contacts in Japan and Australia . I also use grid tracker |

KH6WI formerly KD9TEZ is probably one of the most active since he does POTA so watch for his spots. |

Don't ever become a pessimist... a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events.

The noise floor hath risen on this 48deg Sunday Morning. I shall calleth out to thee on 21.273.00.

Sounds like a QSO adjacent to 21.273, I can move off. May go do a little FT8 for a Miss Congeniality award.
ETA: Oops, I guess moving up a few khz into my privileges would help. Maybe. 21.335 |

ETA: Quick QSO with FL, cup of coffee (shack is cold) and back to calling for a little bit. 2200 UTC edit: A couple of good quick QSOs on 15, but noise up and down. More coffee and a QSY to 10m if anyone is up to it. |
