Six meters is booming over here. Everyone

wants to get on six.

I thought everyone WAS on 6.

I've already cut down an

old 1/4 wave SS whip. Another tailgate fest

this weekend, maybe I'll find a 5054 for a good
price. There are nets on the local 6 meter

repeaters. I can hear them on a scanner. :

Yea,, I've been doing some long distance listening and eavesdropping on
six, myself.

I still leave my CB on, but there is no one on it.

Must be on the wrong channels. My DX is rockin' almost daily,,...you can
listen to the freeband without breaking your vow of hammie celibacy
while seeking to abstain from breaking rules. g

They are all on 2, except for 3 or 4 that can't

make the cut. One guy always uses his box

and can't hear me because I only use the

preamp. Oh well, I'd have to clarify his cheesy

Galaxy anyway...

On channel 2 AM you have to clarify his cheesy Galaxy? Come on down to
my playgrounds,,,,,I never need clarified. Matter of fact, I haven't
changed my settings in years and I get audio compliments almost
everytime I key on AM. Sure glad I got one of them super loud Galaxies
instead of one of the cheesy ones to be found in your neck of the woods.

Taking a break from making an online

newsletter, listing club meetings, hamfests,

nets and other relevant info for the local ham

community. I hear many on the air nets giving

information. I'm trying to gather it all in one

place for easy browsing.

Cool beans. I contributed to a hammie site for a solid year. It's up and
running strong, now.

Anyone that I know may email me for it's

location.

BTW, Hunter absolutely rocked!
