Hello Jim:

HRHG? Don't know what this is??!?.

I have built Interceptor 10K Antenna (left over tubing scraps) to the 6
meter band. I am not on a lot but once in a while make a contact.

Usually above 50.125 USB, something like 50.150 to 50.200 USB.

Yeah I guess a lot of the guys here have stopped replying to the goof
balls here, as in other news groups. I read a few other news groups as
well as this one.

If we stop replying to the trolls they will go away, just like in school
when the trouble makers didn't get any attention, or got socked in the eye
they went away.

Speaking of odd conditions and such. I was once went fishing in Las Vegas,
Lake Mead area. One night after a great fish dinner, I hear one of the
local guys from the Local Mojave Desert talking skip. His signal was
strong enough to bounce off the atmosphere and back down into the Las
Vegas area. Kind of wild I thought, thinking this was a back scatter
signal. But me with a stock radio, and no microphone I could not reply.

I have also heard signals from places just a few hundred miles away, they
came in slowly strong, then slowly went away. What was that?

Hello Jay

Dunno if that's you in HRHG, but 6 meters was really wild, I guess, from
what I'm hearing.

You need SSB (or possibly CW) to work it. Too much flutter otherwise.
Too
much multipath (and changing constantly at that) otherwise (for FM).

Why is it that there is more intelligent conversation and discussion of
more
interesting modes in the cb group than the ham group?

Curious minds and that

Did you guys forget we also had a meteor shower? Could that be the missing
link in all the weird contacts?
