John - surprisingly, I’m glad to hear that! I just moved into a third floor apartment and have been struggling to get a stealth antenna put up so I can check into the nets. Today I cobbled together my new Buddistick vertical on the balcony railing, got the battery charged up in my IC-705 and tuned to 14.050 to hear……nothing. Thought maybe it was conditions or just my crappy antenna situation. Now, maybe not!
I’ll give the 40 meter net a try if we’re here at the right time, although my single radial wire is really short for 40 meters. 73, Jim / K7YXA Eagle, ID > On May 9, 2021, at 4:24 PM, John Seboldt <k0j...@seboldt.net> wrote: > > Nothing in WI near 14050 from 2200-2220.
