I was visiting a sister last weekend who lives *really* deep in the woods, 50 miles from anywhere in northern California. She's completely off the grid, thus unconcerned about PG&E's power lines. But she also has very spotty cellphone reception.
During a moment when none of us had any bars, I pulled out the KX2 and the AX1 whip (with the AXE1 40 meter extender). Sitting on her porch, running 10 watts SSB, I had no trouble checking into the Noontime Net on 40 meters. Now she wants a ham license and "one of those cute little radios" :) We also heard an opening to Europe on 17 meters, but elected to play guitar, drink wine, and enjoy the perfect weather instead. 73, Wayne N6KR > On Oct 7, 2019, at 5:42 PM, Ken K6MR <k...@outlook.com> wrote: > > Yep, we’ve all received our text message, email, and phone call.
