Hi Guys, Thanks for the feedback re. Drake users' activity on HF on Sundays...
I think I'll just take my chances & get on the air with my Twins, to see what's what...I've never properly tried a "true" zip cord antenna anyway, so the exercise might just prove to be entertaining, AND informative, both...! Hi Hi. Maybe I'll catch a few of you guys on the bands, "...by-gosh-and-by-golly"... ~73~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ************************************************************* ----- Original Message ----- From: EP Swynar To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2008 3:53 PM Subject: On-The-Air Drake Roundtables...? Good Afternoon All, Well, the XYL & I went "...yard saling" to-day, & I scored a $10.00 "prize" in the form of a 1500' spool of uncut / untouched zip wire...! I cut & erected a zip cord dipole based on 80-meter dimensions, & I plan to use it to-morrow with my rejuvenated Drake T-4X --- alongside the R-4 --- outdoors, under the gazebo, WX permitting... Are there any regular informal hang-out frequencies / times used on Sundays by the Drake crowd...? I should be open & available on any band with the zip antenna & my HB transmatch...SSB, or CW. It sure would be nice to put a voice / "fist" to some of the e-mail messages I've benefited from here for the past while from you FB gentlemen! ~73~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ
