I can sort of tell that there might be voices in the noise, but I cannot tease them out. Yet a few minutes ago, I was listening to a guy in Ireland.
... just picked up Minneapolis. |

Couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting through even though I could hear ok. Finally remembered I had unhooked my transmit antenna due to recent thunderstorms. I remembered to hook up the receive antenna but not the transmit one

Net Control varying between S1 and S8 here in CenTex with the QSB. He gave me an S9 from my 100 watts and a 72' wire. I love my simple station.

The spectrum scope shows alot of activity. Other than the station in Texas I'm just not hearing anyone. My antenna is a problem, but I won't be able to correct that until we get our new house built and move. That has been delayed due to lumber prices. I guess I'll just have to stick to 40 and 80 meters for now.

You may have been the Texas station that I heard. My tuner will tune my G5RV on 20 meters, but it has very poor performance. I thought about getting a GAP 20 meter vertical, but I think I'll just wait until we get moved. I live in a valley next to the Ohio River. Our land is up on a ridge. Over 300 feet more elevation. |

That storm came out of nowhere! I went from a nice evening with the shack doors open, to running to disconnect in about 30 seconds. At least I got checked in.
Edit: It doesn't look severe on radar. Just a common springtime thunderstorm. |
