TNFrank Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I wonder if someday we could plan a 10M SSB meet up where we could all hang out and "rag chew" a bit. I know close stations might not be heard by some but I know stations at a distance could be heard and we could maybe relay the conversations from close in stations to other close in stations by using the further stations to relay. Anyway, just an I deal for a 10M SSB "Net" that we could all participate in. Quote
marcspaz Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I'm down. Id' have to be in my Jeep since my base isn't hooked up, but I'll give it a go. TNFrank 1 Quote
TNFrank Posted January 23 Author Posted January 23 We're going to have rain here in AZ for the next couple days but sometime next week would be good. We'll need to find a quite freq where the noise floor isn't as bad. I guess we could call it the "mygmrsHamNet" or some such. LOL. marcspaz 1 Quote
TNFrank Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 I'm on the air now. If anyone wants to try and make a QSO let me know the frequency. Quote
Northcutt114 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 It's too cold and rainy to put my antenna up. TNFrank 1 Quote
TNFrank Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 10M is on fire today. Tons of QSO's including POTA. Quote

Northcutt114 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I couldn't stand it anymore. Antenna up in the freezing rain, let's hunt. TNFrank 1 Quote
TNFrank Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 KM7BVY, what's your Call Sign? What frequency do you think you'll be on? Quote

TNFrank Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 WJ7CAS is live on YouTube, 28.387MHz , Check him out. Quote
Northcutt114 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I can't hear either of them. I can hear people calling the AL guy but he's too close to me for me to hear him. Quote
TNFrank Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 I have the same problem with AZ and CA. Did you try the YouTube guy? Quote

TNFrank Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 normally it's s3 on most freq. i also have my RX noise reduction on to a 3 out of 5 which helps. there's someone on 28.376 bleeding over. QSY to 28.370. Quote
TNFrank Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 We must not have our antennas set up to RX each other. Are you getting any of the western POTA stations that I can't get here? Quote
WRYS709 Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I am trying to find you guys on the No Utah WebSDR My home QTH roof antennas are down as of Friday for a new roof/solar project; so I am only OTA POTA for a while Quote
TNFrank Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 I've shut down for the night. I saw a POTA station in WA 28.360 but didn't hear anything. Normally I pick up North/North West stations. Lots of traffic on 10M today, made quit a few contacts including the guy on YouTube. I'm going to check it out to see what I sound like. 73 Quote

TNFrank Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 And I can't get any CA or AZ stations because I'm in the skip zone. I'm surprised you could pick up CA and not me here in AZ. Quote
