Hello Steve:

I think this intermittent skip stuff slowly coming in and then
disappearing is a indication that a single hop is only possible, Then
again who knows anything about propagation?!?!??

The wind is gusting to 75 MPH here today, and has moved the beam, facing
to the north. Thought I tighten the boom to mast bolts, ah,,, maybe not!

Anyway I will now be listening north for stations.

Hello Jay

OK fine business I'll be listening. I'd like to qso with Hawaii or even
Europe again for that matter. It won't be long now...

No skip contacts on 11 meters this weekend, although during the contest,
some guy in deep south america heard me. I wasn't contesting but I threw
my CS out there just to see...

Anybody got a stock mike for a RCI2950? Some of the locals still believe
its illegal for a ham to use an unmodified 2950 on 10 meters!!! Hell, I
use mine on 10 meters and let them all know it on 2 meters. If I want to
talk on CB, I hook up the CB. Three connectors. BFD!
