Six meters is booming over here. Everyone

wants to get on six.

I thought everyone WAS on 6.

Except the ones with budget problems, waiting
for their antenna raising party, or just too busy

to get one.

I've already cut down an

old 1/4 wave SS whip. 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.

There have been openings on 6 lately.

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

When the Mexican heterodyne is there, I'm

not.

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.

AM? I stay on sideband at all times. If I was on
AM, I'd probably have to turn my ANL off to

clear him up.

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.

It's all good...

Anyone that I know may email me for it's

location.

BTW, Hunter absolutely rocked!

Send a CD, I don't do tapes. Zip it up in

MP3's. Fit the whole show on one disc.

Awww,,,man, you're light years ahead of me. I still listen to Fillmore
audience tapes but on the proper equipment,,,lately Denon and Akai (I'm
not much of a Sony fan)...I guarantee your ear can't tell the
difference....maybe Healy, Raccine or Cummings can, but the average (if
such a thing exists) audiophile from the crowd from which we speak
usually can't. Some friends still use the Sony D3 for recording,,how's
THAT for a dinosaur? Something about crowd comments interspersed with
the muzak the way it was......raw.......live,....
