OK edjeep,

You were easy 20 over as we got started up, but the noise came in pretty quick and covered us up.

It was good chatting with you, look up the Evergreen Intertie, we should have no prob working the repeaters from Portland to Seattle.

I'm using a 40M dipole, so not sure how well it'll work.

If you want to try something else pick it, post it, and I will try...

That would have been me talking to the PA guy. He hopped in to give me a signal report, and then took off. That is assuming the first two letters you heard were KJ...

The 40M dipole won't work so well on 80M unless it is UP in the air.  I can hear great pretty good on 80M with my 40M dipole, but at 5' NO ONE can hear me.  I'm going to add an 80M dipole to my 40M NVIS config and get the apex about 15' in the air.

my LDG Z100 will not tune unless you switch to AM


Nationwide,

switch to AM, key your mic, HOLD the tune button till the red light goes out, while still keying the Mic, let go of the tune button, you should hear it clickingwhen it stops, you get a green light, and good to go.

DONT FORGET TO TURN YOU POWER DOWN TO ABOUT 10 Watts.
