Hey guys, I was totally impressed by all the "Flexing AM'ers" on the net last night. I hear more and more each month on that net, and every one of them sounds just great!
I was able to check into all four nets starting with the eastern TZ and finally the Pacific. The SDR-1000 impressed a lot of folk. I still have all my heavy metal stuff, but the Flex is a lot of fun to use and the rx is great for fighting QRM on any mode, including AM, I heard you Larry. The Drake sounded like big iron! John, you did sound really great the other day. Sorry I had to run barefoot, but my Henry had a HV short and took out a diode and resistor, but I have 'Hank' going again now. 73 Brian / w5ami On 11/2/06, John Basilotto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Larry, > > Thanks for the report.
