Who the hell wants a 23 channel sideband unit?
Do they still run 16? hehe I haven't heard anybody there in years. It's all on 38 LSB. |

If 38 lsb is quiet, it's a good time for talking ground wave 70 mile stuff, which is fun too. You're right with the 38, forget the freeband except for once in a while. |

I can hit Balitomore on GW on LSB. That is like 90 miles ! Vinnie S. |

talking ground wave 70 mile stuff, which is fun too. You're right with the 38, forget the freeband except for once in a while. I'm patiently waiting for the Uncle to conform to WRC-03, especially the part about dropping the code. I'll be a general at the next test session, calling CQ on 10 meters later that day. It's nice to have other bands to work when one is dead or too noisy. You can't have too many radios going at the same time! I'll be on 2 meters with my 440 and CB going, along with my scanner. I also like to tune in my local cab company. They bitch and yell and cuss about calls! Since they're right up the street, I'll tune the base on my scanner and the mobiles on my very sensitive 2 meter ICOM. It's a blast during rush hour. It's a split system and they always talk at the same time, so dispatch doesn't hear the cab talking and then there's silence until one repeats their message. The dumb cabbies think it's like a full duplex cell phone!!! |

Let me know when you want to try. Pick a warm night without rain. My CB is mobile only. I have no problem hitting Richmond and DE with my little 225 amp. I dropped the "69". I stole my drinking buddy's numbers when he died. It's been over ten years already. I'm back to my original 104 in Baltimore. I kept the email address so folks know it's still me. -Scott |

I wouldn't get too worked up about working 10M, it opens and closes just like 11M. (ewe knew dat) I like the down-cycle on 11. |
