WRWR489 Posted April 9, 2023 Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Jerry rigged my antenna until the mast gets here and hit the Pickens repeater with now problem. Had a nice conversation and had good reception reports. We tried the Ceaser's Head repeater I could hear them but they could not hear me, to be expected since the antenna is blocked by the house to the north, Great sound good people and I think I will like this! Thanks for all the advice, it seems to have worked. WRTT642 and WRUU653 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's satisfying when that happens, isn't it? WRUU653 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRWR489 Posted April 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2023 Yes Sir, this is not my first rodeo, but worked the first time for a change. Maybe in my old age I am getting wiser! Doubt it. Sshannon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
