[ICOM] Winter CX phone 2026

[howard holden]

Hi Alan! Not aware of the Geezers net, I rarely do phone. But I'll keep it in mind, especially since they use BA gear.

Mostly CW here. In fact, I'm prob not doing the CX next Sunday. I'll wait till the CW portion March 8. I'll send out the CW portion around March 1.

BTW I 've been in Reno NV for the past 16 years, but I grew up in Franklin Lakes and Wanaque NJ. NOT tired of snow yet! And Reno does get it's snow although it's actually high desert, we're at 5300 ft.

Mostly BA gear here, favorites are WW2 gear and older. I do have an Icom 735 and a Kenwood TS440S however, although they're relegated mostly to collecting dust.

73,and hope to hear you in CX!

BTW I've lived in Reno for the past 16 years but grew up in Franklin Lakes and Wanaque NJ, not far from Suffern NY.

73, hope to hear you on the air in CX!

Howie,

Thx for this!

BTW, your call sounds familiar. There is a "Geezer Net" based in San Diego,
hosted by George, W6YEC, utilizing only boat anchor gear, in the event you
were unaware.

On the air every day from 5:00 P.M. on 3.895 MHz.

Vintage Net follows: 3.895 MHz; check in 6:30 P.M. to 7:00 P.M.,[when net
begins].

Best 73 de Alan...N6HPO

P.S. I was born in Newark in the 1940's. Lived there until 1972. Couldn't
take the winters any longer, hi-hi.
