Hi Mal, I like to chat on the band when I can find someone who is sitting at the radio rather than beaconing the band to death. Mostly beacons over here also. I have chatted with 3 people on the band
OK that sounds great!!! I know the XGR stations will make it over the pond. Mine is a long shot for sure with only 70w output. I do cover the US so who knows? I will be on 507.40kc tonight. 73 Mike W
Any 600m Grabbers up there yet? The band is in real good shape right now. I am on 507.40kc right now with a CW beacon signal for Ted to work on his Grabber in Kansas. I'll leave it run for several ho
Not me, my amp is old being a 1976 design but my Kenwood is 1980's technology...hi hi...I think my transverter was built in 2007? I am running a QRSS-1 signal for Pat right now (0736z) on 507.90kc. A
Just turned on the rig and I will be putting a signal on the band for a few hours tonight. Beaconing on 507.90kc and hand keying anywhere in the band I happen to be. Mike WE0H WD2XSH/16
Hi Gary, That will work fine. Conditions were different last night. I noticed the band got shorter as the night progressed. The guys over here will keep trying. We will never know unless we try. Just
Hello Gary, It would be very nice to have a US band 600 meter grabber over on your side of the pond. Our stations run from 505 to 508kc. Most stations that call CQ or 2 way QSO go up to the 506-508kc
Open Office is the shiz brother...hi hi... I run it on everything here. Mike WE0H WD2XSH/16 on 600m Andy - KU4XR - EM75xr - Friendsville, TN. LOWfer Beacon " XR " @ 184.322 KHz
You need a larger TX antenna Mal...hi hi... I find here in the US that some stations have great transmit capability but nearly zero receive capability. I run a good receive setup with only 70w TX pow
Thank you John. I seen one of the XGR stations on tonight, Mike XSH/12 is on the air 505.40kc & I am on 507.40kc. Hope to see something making it that far away tonight. never know unless one tries. W
Opposite here in the US. More 600m operating than on LF. Mike WE0H /16 mal hamilton wrote: It looks like LF is gaining momentrum in QSO terms while MF/600M is in decline. G3KEV
Turned on a CW beacon while I eat dinner. Freq is 505.10kc and later will go to 507.90kc or other freq's as I feel like it...hi hi... Mike WE0H WD2XSH/16
Hi Gary, Perfect. XGR/2 Jay was heard in Germany last night so the band was open, hope it opens up wide tonight. Of course he was heard by Hartmut which we all know has a magic antenna and receiver t
Maybe a few KW and 9wpm...hi hi...Antenna verses burning tree, poof goes the burning tree branches as the antenna falls to the ground... 73 Mike WE0H Mike, I'm sorry not, I gave up regular listening
Hello Hartmut, I operated from 23:00 to 07:10utc last night beaconing on 507.40kc and some other freq's earlier in the night. Do you have any captures online of the 04:17 signal? We have another UNID
Hi Mal, I am on the WD2XSH license and we can't communicate with foreign Amateur or Experimental stations yet. Only WE2XGR stations can do that right now. I can listen and email you reports. There is
Roland, I would be interested in seeing pictures of your station. I also took a CB amplifier and modified it for 600 meters. 90w output with a pair of transistor's. Mike WE0H WD2XSH/16 Roland Bruestl
Yes, try it out. I use whatever I have in stock and then go look other places if I don't have something that will work. You'll be surprised how well that loop hears. I can hear everything my 600m ver
