Freeband hopping?
10 meters sure was.
I've did Italy, Germany, Australia, Puerto Rico and a few in Brazil in about half an hour. If you want to schedule a contact on 10 meters or Echolink, email me your call sign. Sorry, I won't do freeband anymore or initiate DX on 11, however, if I'm talking local, I won't be rude and ignore you on 11 meters if I hear you. |

You're full of horse sh*t. There hasn't been any DX for days. I think you
must have dreamed this. "Scott in Baltimore" wrote in message ... 10 meters sure was. I've did Italy, Germany, Australia, Puerto Rico and a few in Brazil in about half an hour.

The A index doesn't affect 10/11 as bad as it does the lower frequencies. Just look for lots of 'spots and the solar flux to be up in the 100's. I also made a contact on the 12th to Chile. I'm not dreaming dood! The A index is basically yesterdays K index. The K index is a prediction of the solar perturbations for the day. http://dx.qsl.net/propagation/propagation.html Right now the solar flux is 169 and the K index is 2. I'm going out for more!

You know what, I feel like a fool. One of the members of the household here
unscrewed the coax days ago and I didn't realize it. No wonder I haven't been hearing anything. Please accept my apology. Jason "Scott in Baltimore" wrote in message ...

Jason Dodo occurs. Hope you didn't key up with no antenna. By the time I got back out to play, 10 and 11 had died. There's always tomorrow after work. I made contact to Australia today. You didn't **** me off! |

No, I usually just leave the radio on with the squelch up a little almost all the time. I guess when some other members of the family here decided to clean, they unhooked and moved the radio while I was at work. They did this on Mon and I never discovered the coax on the floor until tonight. No key ups as I thought the bands were dead. I usually monitor 10, 11 and sometimes 12. Jason |

I turn the RF on the radio all the way down and use the low setting on the box. Puts me up at the 100 watt level. The antenna is a Wilson 1000 this week. It's a beater car so I'm drilling. Got my NOS ball mount from 1994, some new RG-8X and one of my Firestik KW-7's and I'm gonna rock & roll! These Firestiks have talked on 3 previous vehicles. Time for #4... |

now that your antanner is connected. |
