Re: [AMRadio] smart alec question
Hi Todd, Well, the gang certainly is NOT in the traditional AM window frequencies of 7290-, or 7295-KHz, that's for sure...! I know because I've been honing-in some 40-meter oriented HB stuff here in the shack, receiver-wise, and had to content myself with tweaking things up tuned to (dare I say it...?!) SSB signals...!!! More fun just to let our fingers do the talking ABOUT microphones, here on the computer, than to actually use one...heck, with the demonstartion of all this motor ability, everyone SHOULD really be on CW!

Re: [AMRadio] smart alec question
Eeep! Another Todd! Run for the hills! It's a very good question, and more to the point of 'you're either on the air, or online talking about it'. The bad thing about the internet is that it allows you to keep up with things during work hours (when you'd not normally be on the air anyway). Chatted with John KX5JT around 7160 yesterday through the interference and static. W9AD joined in, and by the time we decided to sign out, conditions had improved just in time for the band to take a dive. Bob, if you can go below 7200 let's give it a go. BC stations are becoming an issue around this time above there. I just fired up the station a few minutes ago, been busy on the phone much of the day with biz and real estate matters. Heading out now to see what's up. ~ Todd (the other one), KA1KAQ/4 On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 3:24 PM, rbethman rbeth...@comcast.net wrote: Well, Called CQ a few times off and on up around 7290.

Todd(1), I'm still stuck to higher freqs! I refuse to memorize the pool! Besides, There is a one-time-of-year exam session in the reasonable vicinity. The other solution is to gain access to the FBI Academy. I know I could, but do I really want to? I'm tired of the strip search mentality of life as it currently exists!

Just threw out a single round of CQs on 7290-91 (just for you, Bob) and had a nice contact with Pat WB2ENI. He had a nice S9+10 signal with his DX-40.

We signed just in time for RCI to sart dropping their carrier in there. Pat mentioned trying to stir up some activity earlier, with no success.
