I'm out in the shack/shop working on a pressure washer. I'll be around. 7.213 is being over ran by people on 7.212. I'll check 7.285.

Even though I am on my potable rig, and we have T-storms in the area, and the solar flux is near an all time low, that was the best I have heard many ARFCOM stations on the net since we started this net. Sweet!

I missed the beginning dealing with teething twins. I heard net control call for check-ins again at the end but my son started screaming again so I went to comfort him. The few folks I heard were crystal clear.

Got home tonight just in time to hear Gyprat signing off. My sushi won out over rushing to play radio :)
You were perfectly clear here in Ohio again tonight. Was it you that said you were running 800W or the other side? JLE |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By alemonkey: You were booming into eastern Nebraska. I heard you mention that you have a lot of problems with high noise levels with that vertical - I have the same issue with mine. I've been experimenting with a separate receive antenna. Hopefully I'll figure something out. I get good signal reports all the time even when I can barely hear the other station due to a high noise floor. Thanks for the great signal report into NE. I typically get good signal reports but sometimes have a hard time hearing the weaker stations. They’re just drowned out in the noise, with the worse noise in the early evening. It might be time to open a thread on receive antennas to see what the group may have had success with, particularly with a vertical. Would be great to share ideas. |

I hate to do this again. It's been raining most of the day and I just heard thunder again. The tower's top is above the trees. I dont want to take any chances with lightning.
I'd appeciate if one of you guys plays NCS tonight. |
